> That’s exactly what I compared to swimming rather than boats — because you won’t reach the same places and it’s done for aesthetic reasons.
For some reason, and I can't explain it, but I do believe that people still value personal physical achievements even when machines can do it better, but the same is not true of mental achievements. I take it as an axiom.
> Some people (eg, myself) want the surmathematics adventure.
That is where we fundamnetally differ, again axiomatically. I think it's offensive. But even if you do like it, that will eventually lead to the path where AI is just doing mathematics so well that no one will have much of a chance to understand what it is doing at all. And that ultimate conclusion, or even a probably chance of it, is enough reason to scrap the whole thing.
