If only we had created some device that could perform deterministic calculations and then wrote software that made it easy for humans to use such calculations.




ok but humans are idiots, if only we could make some sort of Alternate Idiot, a non-human but every bit as generally stupid as humans are! This A.I would be able to do every stupid thing humans did with the device that performed deterministic calculations only many times faster!

Yes and when the AI did that all the stupid humans could accept its output without question. This would save the humans a lot of work and thought and personal responsibility for any mistakes! See also Israel’s Lavender for an exciting example of this in action.
