Computer scientist Binny Gill argues that the pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI) is misguided and instead advocates for the development of artificial narrow intelligence (ANI) by offloading mental labor, similar to how the industrial age offloaded manual labor. Gill believes that even if machines achieve superhuman abilities, human oversight will still be necessary to make ethical decisions, likening it to needing an "Iron Man inside the suit."
