I think you presented a false comparison.
You said anything we can teach a human within an hour: do you mean a fresh human that's only just been supplied with a brain? Because you can't teach a baby anything besides basic stimulus response on that time frame, and I'm pretty sure we can get computers to do that if we rig up the stimulus response hardware in a way comparable to a newborn.
What I think you actually meant, and what I think is a completely rigged test, is comparing a human with years of training and adaptive hardware modification to a computer with absolutely no training in its ability to learn a new skill or building out its knowledge base. That, of course, is a completely terrible comparison.
I'll take your bet, and call it by 2050, if you're willing to compare a human with 5 years of hardware and knowledge base training and adaptation to a computer with 1 year of hardware adaption (eg, FPGA circuit reprogramming) and 1 year of knowledge base training.
- geon 11y agoI assume the AI would be pre-trained to (or beyond) the level which could be expected of an adult. The "within an hour" part refers to the test itself.
- ObviousScience 11y agoI'm willing to modify the bet for that: I think an AI with 20 years to be trained and have things like FPGA components adjusted can learn in 1 hour anything I could teach a person in the same amount of time with the same amount of pre-training.
