May 12, 2015 at 3:00 comment added Aaronaught Nobody said anything about creating advanced AI by accident, and nobody said anything about personality either. What I said was that it's possible to build something without a complete understanding. There's a never-ending stream of scientific breakthroughs that have scientists struggling for years trying to understand the why of it, but the why doesn't always matter once we figure out the how and turn it into engineering.

May 11, 2015 at 15:07 comment added timecorn @Aaronaught I agree there are plenty of cases where something was created on accident (take viagra for example) though I doubt you can "accidently" create advanced AI. The scenario that OP gave was a robot that is better than human in everything. That means that the AI isn't just AI, it's basically a human++ . If a robot goes by what's "most efficient" then it would never be better than us because it would always play the same note, always paint with the same colour. Each robot will need to have a unique personality first. And if it has one then it's probably pretty close to human already

May 10, 2015 at 3:57 comment added Aaronaught Your conclusion is most likely correct; however, the analysis is seriously flawed. It is entirely possible to create something advanced without understanding it. It's pretty much the whole story of evolution, which can also be implemented on silicon (and much faster), although that's not the only possible scenario. There's also emergent behavior, or creating dumb AIs to build smarter AIs, etc. AI researchers aren't actually trying to recreate the human brain, just using it as a model to create systems that solve human-scale problems.
