Think about this: Artificial Intelligence. It has the potential for great intelligence, of course, but can it advance? Maybe not.
Okay... Why?
Think about the opposing fields of objective knowledge and subjective thought. Most of us all admire objectivity in scientific thought as unbiased and a good starting point for finding information. But think about the scientific method that everyone should have learned in grade school years. Would science exist without subjectivity?
The method I am speaking of starts out with a hypothesis--an airy supposition formed in the brain that is only a concept and entirely unproved. Then we try and prove this idea through an objective process.
So, in science, subjectivity has an important place, and we go from being subjective to objective.
That being said, A.i. is an objective machine, not truly capable of advancement unless someone gives it subjective stimulus.
Not much to worry about then in the future world or in the sci-fi (replicators) world?
If you understand my point, what do you think?
