I was imagining an AI that is less smart and innovative than Elon Musk, but thinks faster and can be copied arbitrarily many times. Elon is limited to one brain thinking eighteen hours a day or so; the vast majority of the thought-work is done by the other humans he commands. If we had AI that could think as well as a pretty good engineer, but significantly faster, and we could make lots of copies fairly cheaply, then we’d be able to do things much faster than Elon can with his teams of humans.
