It would not be friendly if it did. I don't think any processing in a
human could match a full SI. However, I am more interested in what
happens when every human who wishes is augmented to have the equivalent
of a 200 IQ and is plugged seamless into a network of such humans as
well as AIs. This is quite doable technically in the near term. I
would think that such augmentation would take us to creating true SI and
help tremendously in managing our ramp-up to Singularity. There will
also be high pressure in many professions to augment. Unaugmented
humans will have a hard time keeping up with constantly wired, super
memory equipped competitors with extra semantic analysis, reasoning,
computational and bayseian analysis built in.
