As the most basic of fraud prevention guidance will stress, the easiest way to spot a scam is that if it sounds way too good to be true, in the overwhelming majority of cases, it is.
Also, this magical god-like description of AGI sounds like it is conjecture up by people who have no idea what AGI is about.
Even if you do create AGI, it’s only a model, and the quality of input determines the quality of the output.
You still need to do the actual research to generate the raw data needed to feed into your model for it to come up with anything new, and you still need the industrial might to turn computer models into real life assets at scale and at speed.
True AGI with just Reddit and pornhub as data libraries is not going to give you warp drives even in a million years. And even if your AGI does manage to develop the blueprints for warp drives, it ain’t going to help if your workers just don’t have the skills needed to actual build the thing.
Can AGI be a massive game changing advantage? Sure, but you still need the full array of traditional scientific and industrial super power might to take full advantage.
