  • Yes. I didn’t say you should learn while dead 😋.

    My postulate was that an AI will not die, and eventually just learn more and more (or get better tuned). It can just function forever in theory.

    We mere humans first spend many years learning to read and write, and so on, from 6 to 26 or more. Then we get a job and learn all the time, the welder gets better at welding, the doctor better at diagnosing and so on.

    But then we humans grow old gets dementia and dies and society loses all that usefulness. If the society needs a new welder, we have to train someone to read, write, and eventually weld. They will get better at it until they die too. And so on.

    An “AI welder” (or doctor or whatever) that is bad but “learns” over the years and softwate updates doesn’t go away suddenly, and can learn indefinitely, becoming extremely good at what it does, because it’s not resetted every 70 years or so.
