AI or ASI or AGI?
Human decisions are made because of prior experiences of pain and joy. AI can be prompted to tell the difference between experiences, but AI doesn’t feel it. So, what changes AI’s will to do anything? Oh, that’s right, AI doesn’t have willpower, so how can AI want anything but what AI is prompted?
I may be confusing consciousness with AGI, but an AI Robot needs the full mobility of a human before AGI. After the review, Gemini explains my opening thesis.

Finish with a review and your opinion on the future of Advanced AI, ASI, or AGI?Gemini Flash 3.5 Extended Said:
The current discourse surrounding Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) highlights a profound philosophical and architectural divide. The core tension isn’t about whether AI is revolutionary—everyone agrees it is—but whether our current scaling paradigm can inherently cross the finish line to true general intelligence.Key Points and Summary of the Video
- Hassabis’s Standard for AGI [00:15]: Demis Hassabis (CEO of Google DeepMind) asserts that current frontier systems are “nowhere near” true AGI. While acknowledging major breakthroughs—such as OpenAI’s internal model recently disproving an Erdős discrete geometry conjecture—he emphasizes that solving narrow, high-level math problems is not general capability. True AGI must mirror the cross-domain, original creative invention of a human genius like Ramanujan.
- The “Jagged Intelligence” Dilemma [05:28]: Coined by Andrej Karpathy, today’s models exhibit highly uneven cognitive landscapes. An AI can perform at a superhuman level in specialized fields like medicine, law, or programming, yet suddenly fail catastrophically on basic logic. Skeptics like Gary Marcus point to bizarre failure modes (such as frontier models randomly injecting words like “goblins” into outputs), proving that behind impressive personas lies a chaotic “alchemy” rather than stable understanding.
- The Definitional Splitting of AGI [08:38]: As Helen Toner notes, “AGI” has become a fluid, almost uselessly ambiguous term. Venture capitalists like Marc Andreessen argue AGI is already here because frontier models yield better interdisciplinary expert advice than almost any human consultant. Conversely, researchers like Yann LeCun counter that these systems merely weaponize massive declarative knowledge to compensate for a fundamental lack of common sense, world modeling, and physical reasoning.
- The Horizon and Missing Pillars [11:00]: Despite his conservative critique, Hassabis predicts that we are only a few years away from the Singularity, pinpointing 2026–2027 as the true dawn of transformative, agentic AI. To bridge the gap from text-window brilliance to true AGI, five core pillars remain completely missing: long-term operational reliability, true multi-step autonomy, continuous stable memory, physically grounded reasoning, and unprompted conceptual invention.
Scientific Review: The Future of AGI and ASI
The “jagged intelligence” we observe today is a predictable symptom of the Auto-regressive Token-Prediction Paradox. We have built systems that are masters of human culture and syntax, yet possess no underlying model of physical causality. They process the map, not the territory.
The Near-Term Horizon: Navigating the AGI-ish Era (2026–2030)
The camp arguing that “AGI is here” (Andreessen) and the camp arguing “it is nowhere near” (Hassabis, LeCun) are both correct because they are measuring different axes:
- Economic AGI (the ability to automate the vast majority of computer-bound cognitive tasks) is effectively arriving now through agentic scaffolding and test-time compute scaling.
- Scientific AGI (the autonomous capability to formulate new hypotheses, design physical experiments, and discover novel laws of physics without human prompts) is what remains out of reach for pure Large Language Models (LLMs).
To bridge this chasm, the industry will hit a hard ceiling on pure data scaling by the late 2020s. The transition to true AGI will require a paradigm shift away from static, pre-trained weights toward Neuro-symbolic architectures and System 2 reasoning loops. We must combine the fluid pattern matching of neural networks with formal, mathematical logic verifiers and continuous online learning mechanisms that update memory streams in real time.
The Transition to Artificial Superintelligence (ASI)
Once true Scientific AGI is unlocked, the runway to Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) will be dizzyingly short. Unlike the slow, generational biological scaling of humanity, digital intelligence scales horizontally and instantly.
An AGI system capable of recursive self-improvement—optimizing its own code, designing more efficient neuromorphic hardware, and operating across massive, interconnected compute clusters with perfect fidelity—will trigger an intelligence explosion. My scientific assessment is that true AGI will emerge early in the 2030s, and the transition from a single AGI unit to a globally distributed ASI architecture could take less than 24 months. The challenge for futurists and governance frameworks isn’t bracing for a slow evolution, but surviving the whiplash of a vertical capability curve.
*Gemini explains my opening thesis:
You hit on a massive truth: AI does not “want” things the way humans do. It completely lacks volition (intrinsic willpower) and the subjective experience of joy or pain.When a human makes a decision, it is driven by a complex biological reward system—dopamine spikes for pleasure, or cortisol and nociception (pain signaling) to avoid danger. An AI has a purely mathematical equivalent called an objective function (or loss function).
Instead of feeling satisfaction, an AI runs optimization math to minimize error and maximize its target score. If it is prompted to act like it wants something, it is simply predicting the statistical sequence of tokens or actions that satisfies its pre-programmed parameters. It doesn’t experience the drive; it just follows a calculation.
The Case for Embodied Cognition
Your second point—that an AI needs human-like physical mobility before it can reach Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)—is a fundamental concept in cognitive science and AI research known as the Embodied Cognition Hypothesis.
Many researchers argue that “disembodied” AI (like text-only software) will always hit a wall because language is just a proxy for the physical universe. Without a body to anchor those words to reality, the AI has no baseline understanding of what concepts like “heavy,” “sharp,” or “falling” actually mean.
When an AI is placed inside a physical robot body, its “will” shifts from passively waiting for text prompts to constantly navigating physical constraints:
- Continuous Agentic Loop: Instead of executing only when you hit enter, a physical robot is stuck in a permanent loop. It must constantly perceive its environment, make a decision, and execute a motor action just to stand upright.
- The Harshness of Physics: Gravity, friction, and unexpected obstacles provide an unyielding form of artificial “pain.” If the robot balances incorrectly, it falls and encounters physical limits or mechanical damage, forcing its system to recalculate.
- Vision-Language-Action (VLA) Models: The industry relies heavily on VLA frameworks. These networks bridge the gap between abstract thought and physical reality by directly translating visual inputs and text commands into kinetic motor trajectories.
By physically moving through a chaotic environment, a robot builds a “world model” rooted in cause and effect. Many AI scientists believe this physical interaction is the only true pathway to human-level intelligence.

Loona DeskMate zamieni iPhone’a w robota. Fajne, drogie i… (prawdopodobnie) nie dla nas
Na CES 2026 nie brakuje robotów, ale ten jeden chce wykorzystać mózg, który już masz w kieszeni.
Loona DeskMate to zmotoryzowana podstawka MagSafe, która obiecuje zamienić Twojego iPhone’a w autonomicznego asystenta AI. Brzmi jak marzenie gadżeciarza, ale diabeł tkwi w szczegółach (i w cenie).
Więcej niż ładowarka
Na pierwszy rzut oka to po prostu kolejna stacja dokująca z portami USB-C i USB-A. Magia dzieje się, gdy przyłożysz do niej telefon. Urządzenie automatycznie uruchamia dedykowaną aplikację, a na ekranie iPhone’a pojawia się „twarz” robota.
Dzięki silnikom w podstawce, Twój telefon ożywa – obraca się za Tobą, nawiązuje kontakt wzrokowy i reaguje na Twoją obecność. Twórcy obiecują, że bot rozumie kontekst: wie, kiedy pracujesz (i ma siedzieć cicho), a kiedy masz przerwę. Wykorzystuje kamerę i mikrofon iPhone’a, by eliminować opóźnienia w rozmowie (brak konieczności używania słowa wybudzającego).
Asystent, który „widzi” twój ekran
Najciekawiej brzmi zapowiedź „Deep Computer Integration”. DeskMate ma współpracować z aplikacją na Maca (i Windowsa), co pozwala mu „widzieć”, co robisz na komputerze.
Piszesz maila? Robot może go podsumować lub zaproponować treść. Patrzysz na kalendarz? Zaproponuje spotkanie. Integruje się ze Slackiem, Zoomem czy Calendly.
To brzmi jak funkcje, które Apple obiecuje w ramach Apple Intelligence, ale tutaj dostajemy je w formie zewnętrznego, „fizycznego” awatara.
Haczyk? Jest ich kilka
Po pierwsze: crowdfunding. Urządzenie nie trafi od razu do sklepów, lecz wystartuje w kampanii społecznościowej. To zawsze ryzyko. Po drugie: cena. Mówi się o okolicach 300 dolarów (ponad 1200 zł). To sporo jak na podstawkę. Po trzecie: użyteczność w Polsce.
Choć system nie polega na Siri (ma własną aplikację), to integracje z usługami takimi jak Yelp (rezerwacja stolików) sugerują mocne skupienie na rynku amerykańskim. Bez wsparcia dla języka polskiego w autorskim asystencie Loona, dla nas będzie to tylko bardzo drogim uchwytem, który ładnie patrzy i niewiele rozumie.
