EDIT: Let's cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We're not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don't believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I'm sure almost everybody has something to add.

That makes sense if you assume we can make "God" (and such a thing is even feasible).

How in any way is a general AI an omnipresent all powerful force of the universe? A single mild solar flare would wipe it out. A blackhole would end it. Poorly configured DNS would end it. Etc. Unless this is some real weak sauce God in which case just call me God

I don't know if I can put it in other words to make it easier to understand. Read my two posts again, please. Try to think bigger than just us humans. If we are on the steps of creating GeneralAI, then other spiecies on other planets in other galixies most likely have already done it. If this creation is granted enough time, it will eventually know everything worth knowing, and can perform, what we would consider, miracles.

Not having any issues understanding you, and you keep refusing to acknowledge my points.

Let's say we create a general AI. Let's say it's gone full skynet, and we've given it a billion years in the universe to grow, learn, expand, etc.

It will still end at the heat death of the universe right? It will still have to navigate within the forces of nature right?

Doesn't sound very God like. If the moment general AI dropped, gravity changed, the wave particle duality collapsed, etc, then I'd be a believer. But general AI is merely mirroring our own brains, but with the distinct advantage of having their brain be modular and scalable.

Now you're asking the right questions "It will still end at the heat death of the universe right?", not if entropy is reversable, and that's what "The last question" is all about. ๐Ÿ‘ "will still have to navigate within the forces of nature right?", we only understand about 5% of the univers' matter. There are so many questions we don't know the answers to, and worse, there are even more questions we don't know we need to ask.
