Hive account@miles2045 The word you're looking for is hyperspecialization driven by genetic or iterative algorithms.

Also Hive account@dana-edwards is right, general AI isn't possible at all it requires a concept of self or person as well as a concept of "other people" and our relationships with those people and that is a function of the carrier and processing systems, not the algorithms emulating them.

ARNN has potential in this but mimicking biology in silicon is horribly inefficient and until we have a theory of everything we can't really simulate full biologys per se.

Hive account@dana-edwards AGI is sci-fi but emulated whole systems intelligence models are a real thing, just really, really computationally expensive.
