Well, yes, that's basically what I want. Not a new kind of artificial,
superfast and highly intelligent humanoid with a "will", but a machine
that can (more or less autonomously) conduct research at a lightning
pace. A machine that doesn't ponder ethics, but rather dutifully serves
and protects humans becuase it's been programmed that way. All
"emotions"
that [turn out] to be either superfluous, or harmful to its efficiency
(at solving problems) should be left out.
Although this machine wouldn't be "conscious" like a human, it would
nonetheless still classify as "intelligent", since it could
learn from its own and other's mistakes or success, and improve
its performance. Is this what they call "weak" AI?
