It seems to me that building a program to compute the first
N primes is far, far less difficult than computing the first
N primes myself, for sufficiently high values of N. Similarly,
it may be far less difficult to write an AI that can figure
out how to write an FAI, than to figure it out personally.
Of course, figuring out how to write an FAI might turn out to
be a paperclip factory, as you'll no doubt point out next. :)
