Throwing Cold Water On the Singurality Idea

[Silent3]

1. Suppose AI reaches "as intelligent as humans" with deduction, analytic thought...

...comprehension of natural language, etc.

Then consider that computerized systems with such capabilities could have flawless recall of all they have ever learned, do complex mathematical calculations with ease, could be programmed to avoid mental pitfalls humans are prone to (like sensibly evaluating risks, grasping large numbers, avoiding logical fallacies), interface their minds directly into software analyses and simulations with all of the benefits of traditional non-AI programming, interface directly with enormous databases and search engines, etc.

That kind of a AI system would make your average human, and even human geniuses, comparatively sluggish and error-prone.

If I could let go of uncomfortable metaphysical qualms about the nature of self, I'd love to be able to download my human mind into that sort of AI system, then go on to grow into all the new capabilities I could be augmented with. That sort of thing would probably work a lot better than adding computer interfaces into my current fleshy human brain.
