I watched the bald guy with the beard who appears within this Substack article. here is what I composed using my human intelligence skill.

"

AGI is an acronym similar to AI. The person in this video says he things when AGI comes then there will be a machine "that knows everything humans know." I do not believe that humans know very much at all. I have been learning every day, for the last several years, how little humans know. This guy is out of touch; he thinks they still know a lot. The sort of thing that this person seems to be calling "knowledge" is only know factual bits of data, like how legs does an insect have. But "insect" is a man-made category. In some other language these creatures are called something else. Does AI track even the differences between Western and Eastern knowledge? It is like some kind of a farce. Does the AGI know the Hopi Indian version of the universe? Many nations of the world were eradicated by the Romans, around the period 200-100 BC. Does AI know all of that stuff? The AGI has no deeper knowledge. It does not seem to even know that any deeper knowledge, outside of the bits of fact like how big is Saturn or how many moons does Jupiter have, etc. exists at all. That is no knowledge; that is just facts. They do not have any deeper knowledge of the universe or the limits of the human mind, etc. So what kind of knowledge is this man in the video talking about. How would a computer have that sort of knowledge? Humans do not have it. Doesn't it follow that computers will not? So, this is a non-issue. The basic problem is that of how little knowledge humas have. And in these final days before the human world collapses they know less. AI will solve that, supposedly, by scouring the Internet and, the guy says, even looking beyond the Internet to find out whatever humans know -- and supposedly then go one better. Does he make any sense at all? It's gibberish.

A phrase like, "...scraping the bottom of the barrel for all knowledge they can get their hands on" continues in this same vein. The guy thinks of "knowledge" as just bits of facts that are always easily put into words. Are words that clear and obvious? Is this what people believe nowadays? It is difficult for me to believe. It is not that AI is that smart; it is that humans are that stupid. It seems just bizarre to me that anyone would think like this. This guy seems to think in a way that is artificial and simplistic. He seems to live in a cognitive delusion that all knowledge is tangible, merely a matter of knowing some words that someone has said. And this guy has nothing to back this up. Except more words. I am up to one minute and a half of this gibberish, and this is going to go on for the next thirty four minutes. It is shocking to me that anyone can be this stupid. He says he predicted what is happening today: "we are going to have feature length films that are completely AI-generated." That very exciting So they will they be as bad as the films humans make. What is there to be excited about there? It just does not interest me. Films have gotten much worse. I do not watch them. I expect nothing out of humans anymore. Why would I care about computer-generated feature films? Not because they are better than humans, because who will watch them? The 'Woke' people? It just does not interest me.
