The relationship between consciousness and intelligence
1:39:50 - 1:51:47 (11:57)
The cost of having consciousness and a general purpose brain is massive, and as increasingly intelligent systems are built, people tend to anthropomorphize them, leading to impactful interactions that are missed when the systems are gone. However, such systems do not possess consciousness in the same way higher animals do.

Summary
General intelligence in both humans and AI systems is expensive in terms of energy and development. Special purpose systems have historically been easier to build, but general intelligence is necessary for conscious intelligence and scientific discovery.

Summary
As people begin to interact more with increasingly intelligent systems, there is a tendency to anthropomorphize them and build meaningful relationships with them. Building AI is one of the best ways to explore consciousness because we can create devices that are incredibly smart but don't have self-awareness.
