The Human Killer App: Five AI Systems Assess the Human Machine
Summary
Five leading artificial intelligence systems evaluated the human organism from an engineering perspective rather than a philosophical one. The AIs highlighted remarkable capabilities such as extreme energy efficiency—running on about 20 watts while processing complex tasks—alongside seamless integration of perception, movement, and reasoning. They noted unique traits like biological self-assembly from a single cell, automated self-repair, graceful degradation during injury, and metabolic flexibility. While acknowledging that human development requires a lengthy upbringing compared to instant AI replication, the systems concluded that the human organism remains a benchmark engineering achievement, ultimately giving rise to a planetary-scale distributed intelligence known as civilization.
