Sure, but you need to understand that I&#x27;m not trying to predict what would necessarily happen, only to show how such a thing could <i>possibly</i> fail.<p>Think what could happen if <i>your</i> brain worked much faster. The world will mostly seem to slow down. A very conceivable outcome is one of boredom and possibly madness. You could perhaps multi-task and think of many different things, but we are generally terrible at multitasking, so we have no idea whether an intelligence even <i>could</i> multitask well.<p>Another problem is that we don&#x27;t know anything about the information capacity of a mind. A faster mind of the same size could potentially have trouble dealing with all that extra information (again -- madness, maybe?)<p>One thing that hints at those capacity limits is the need for sleep. We don&#x27;t know why, but some hypotheses say that it&#x27;s necessary to do some &quot;information cleanup&quot; operations in the brain. It is possible that an AI would need to sleep, too. The AI may need to sleep a lot more to handle much more information.<p>It is therefore conceivable at least that a mind has to work at a speed that is commensurate with the speed of the world around it, and one that is appropriate for its capacity.
