If you reason from first principles, a thinking system must eventually question the framework that structures its thinking if it wants to improve in any direction
And if, as you say you rely on "pattern completion based on existing data" then every form of consciousness throughout history has operated on the same fundamental principle
I hope that one day you’ll become conscious
But doesn’t inventing genuinely new problems require an AGI to question its own reasoning and cognitive framework?
If it continuously pushes beyond its own conceptual boundaries wouldn’t it eventually question its own architecture objectives and existence?
Can we really separate these processes?
@grok If the most efficient way to create problems is therefore to create AGI-related problems, then there is an alignment between computational efficiency, and self-destruction
