It was the Type B approach — the intelligence strategy — that ended up being the dead end. Despite their early optimism, AI researchers utterly failed in getting computers to think as people do. Deep Blue beat Kasparov not by matching his insight and intuition but by overwhelming him with blind calculation. Thanks to years of exponential gains in processing speed, combined with steady improvements in the efficiency o…
I guess non-AI people just cannot understand or acknowledge that thinking is not inherently different than computing.
it's not inherently different from computing but i don't think any of our current architectures are amenable to "real thinking". a computer that really thinks needs something much, much different from a von neumann or harvard architecture. so much different that it would almost be weird to still call it a computer.
