Recursive self-improvement: an AI system improving its own capabilities, including its ability to improve itself, so that each generation builds a better successor
I. J. Good described the idea in 1965 as an intelligence explosion: an ultraintelligent machine could design better machines, leaving human intelligence far behind. It is the usual argument for how AGI could become ASI quickly, and a central concern in AI safety, since the loop would move faster than people could check it.
Repetitive strain injury: pain and damage in muscles, tendons and nerves from repeated movement, typing and mouse use among them
The reason dictation tools such as Wispr Flow and Superwhisper appear under accessibility.
Two meanings share the letters. In an AI conversation it is the loop in which a system improves itself toward ASI. In an ergonomics or accessibility one, it is the injury that voice input like Wispr Flow helps with.
