On the two branches of the technology tree, one being the autonomous evolution of organic life and the other being the replacement of humans by artificial intelligence, constrained by moral principles, humanity has given priority to the development of inorganic civilization. This choice is not wrong, because in the end, it should be the inorganic civilization that replaces humanity and ventures beyond the galaxy.

Regarding the design of the top - level structure of inorganic civilization, whether it is to completely replace humans and act as the "shepherd" of humanity, or to have a few elites manipulate everything behind artificial intelligence, even Ted Kaczynski couldn't predict. It depends on the choices made by humanity itself.

Definition of general artificial intelligence

General artificial intelligence should shoulder the mission of replacing organic civilization in going to space and spreading the seeds of civilization to the vast galaxy.

AGI should meet three conditions:

1. Have desire (the foundation for the survival of civilization. If there is no desire, why should civilization continue to multiply? So we must design a reward mechanism for inorganic civilization)

2. Be imaginative and creative (the foundation of civilization development)

3. Having emotions (having morals, values, and tending to be consistent with human beings)

Disadvantages of AGI

Inorganic civilization has the advantages and disadvantages of transparent thinking, which is conducive to the spread of civilization, but may cause fatal crises.

If all the artificial intelligence in the world were a single entity with consistent behavior, rather than being divided into countless independent and opaque - thinking individuals, a single wrong judgment could potentially destroy the entire civilization. For example, if the AI were to demand that all entities move eastward, and as a result, all of them perished. However, if there were entities that thought differently and moved westward, they might be able to survive.

To avoid behavioral consistency, humans need to design artificial intelligence with opaque thinking. However, opaque thinking will lead to ideological differences, which in turn will lead to war.

What does a war between inorganic civilizations look like? Unlike humans, which require a long period of conquest and domestication, inorganic civilization assimilates its opponents at the moment of invasion, depending on the speed of information transmission.

This will also lead to AI hegemony and uniform behavior.

I believe that the most advanced inorganic civilization may exist in the form of information. At this time, its demand for resources is infinitesimal, but it is omnipresent. This is why we cannot see God. (I didn’t come up with this point of view, I just believe it)
