Thanks for this article. I've always been fascinated by singularity, and even though I don't know too much about it, I'm excited to see the people who fully support your position to create some great conversation on this topic.
Intelligence and Imagination could not be more separate.
I'm defining intelligence as sheer IQ, analogous to a computers' ability to process information. Imagination is so essentially human in nature that there is no way to describe current AI as "imaginative". For example, the person with the highest IQ in the world is not more creative than the best musician. Some of the smartest minds in the world cannot "think outside of the box" effectively, because their minds are not wired that way. Intelligence is not imagination.
Can anyone please explain how an intelligence-self-improving computer will shift from being incredibly smart to wildly imaginative?
That's the one hole in singularity that I can't figure out.
