I love your thought experiment. May I counter, what purpose does such a machine have to us, that can think beyond our needs? Sorry, but to reference the great Rick and Morty, "your purpose is to pass the butter".


“To us” is pivotal there. Continuing GP’s thought experiment: what if the model that produced the output perceives that the human it was presented to offers no value in helping it learn further?

We can think of questions we can't answer. It can answer them.


Maybe it can, maybe it cannot- comes down to the question.
