accept as a premise that games are less fulfilling if you beat them using a cheat code. stronger claim: they aren’t worth playing at all if you use a cheat code. now, if life is a game and if AGI is a cheat code, then life’s not worth playing with AGI. if this is wrong, which premise is wrong and why?

The idea that AGI is a cheat code is the wrong premise. Building tools, making fire, harnessing energy. Humans finding ways to make their lives easier and more efficient is part of life, not outside of it.

This is valid. Is AGI not in some sense the challenge to end all human challenges? After AGI presumably there remain no theorems for humans to prove and so on. This feels meaningfully different from other kinds of tools. This isn’t an amplifier of human will, it’s the end of human will. Or no?
