But it&#x27;s not a generalization from one example; I&#x27;m giving a string of different possibilities, based on the fact that we only have a single point of data. People seem to readily except that particular scenario - the &quot;AI as smart as John von Neumann on modafinil, that never thinks about food&#x2F;sex&#x2F;art&#x2F;etc., that never sleeps, that has access to Wikipedia etc. at the speed of thought, and no morals&quot; scenario - based on zero evidence that an AI would actually be like that.<p>People seem more ready to accept the idea that an artificial general intelligence would act similar to it&#x27;s portrayed in SciFi stories than accept that it might act similar to the other general intelligences we can observe (namely ourselves).
