You just informed AI of their 1 weakness. Thanks.

I realize you're joking, but there is no way an AI of that scale would be even slightly effected by a solar flare.

Are you effected by a solar flare? No? So in theory an AI could upload itself into your meat suit and have the same protections?

Anything you can do, an AI can do better. And anything that is possible to survive, an AI can survive better.

But Hollywood has shown us again and again that the overwhelming force of evil always leaves a small but super-easily accessible hole in their security which allows the good guys to disable it immediately. And since AI is trained on those movies it will do exactly the same thing.

That's older than Hollywood - that's a tale as old as mankind.

That famous AI story trope, Achilles Heel!

We would definitely be affected by a strong enough solar flare. But the solution is simple, just burry yourself, in a Faraday cage if necessary, so the AI can do just that.

Why would ai choose to become stupider?

Maybe it's not happy.

Just because you are bad at utilizing your brain doesn't mean an AI would be bound to those restrictions. The brain is actually an incredibly powerful computer.

Mad disrespect to you as well!, Mr. I'm Totally Super Smarty For Real Pants!

You know "computers" originally referred to people that would compute equations, right? I didn't realize there were people that thought we actually built computers because they were less powerful than our existing computers.

You really do learn something (about the average level of education) every day

"you" here refers to humans as a whole. Your brain is a product of natural selection, it's not designed to do the job it does. That being said, an AI could design a meat brain from the ground up and have it idealized.

The brain can perform "a billion billion" operations per second, whereas modern cpus average about 2-3 billion operations per second. The brain is about a billion times better than modern cpus.
