PG's 'learning a word' ~= 'learning an idea' comes to mind

• a2ff6eeb0 13d ago
  Sure, but we're building tools that will be able to figure out these ideas for us. They're not here yet, but what's the value of learning an idea if the promise of AI is actually fulfilled?

    I don't understand the point you're making, it only comes off as misanthropic to me. We live in a world where humans are valued, and so is human culture. We educate ourselves to live richer lives and to have more fulfilling experiences. What has eventual superhuman AI to do with this?

      Yeah, sorry -- there's definitely entertainment value in education, I don't mean to discount that. But a working AI means that there's no economic value.
