She suggested robots might replace humans to cure cancer.
My daughter’s take on superintelligence:
“To dogs, humans are superintelligent; to a superintelligence, humans are just like dogs.”
“To cure cancer, the optimal solution for a superintelligence might be to replace humans with robots.”
Some users praised the daughter's analogy on superintelligence and humanity as smart and insightful while many others dismissed it as an overused sci-fi trope or overly simplistic.

@denny_zhou Interesting analogy,
the same way a dog doesn't have any understanding of what happens wen v read a newspaper or work on our laptop, I wonder what activities would a super-intelligent entity engage in that v won't have any idea of
@denny_zhou Right cos if your dog keeps peeing in your house, the only course of action is to put it down. Probably replace it with a Boston dynamics robodog
@denny_zhou Logic so simple a dog could understand it
@denny_zhou petting dogs is allowed
@denny_zhou soon, 100-watts humanoid robots will replace human
@denny_zhou Can we just be real for a second, if it is a true super-intelligence then it wouldn't catastrophically misunderstand the task we give it. A super-intelligence would be capable of much more nuance, it would understand what we mean by 'curing', it knows thats not eradicating humans
@denny_zhou Will superintelligent beings treat humans like dogs (less intelligent companions) or see no value in humanity?
This is why human-AI alignment is so pivotal right now.
@denny_zhou kids say the most unfiltered stuff
the robot part is where it gets dark fast
@denny_zhou She fails to consider ants
@denny_zhou smart kid
@denny_zhou Seen this take a thousand times already, honestly just sounds like another sci-fi trope.
@denny_zhou Smart!. brilliant summary. More people should ruminate on those words.
@denny_zhou no offense, but your daughter seems to only have human level intelligence
@denny_zhou
@denny_zhou she out-thought half the tech twitter in one bedtime conversation
