Re: Why lifeless AI is not intelligent
#2My take on intelligence over the past 20y has been it is high quality / efficient search of immense state spaces.
"Solving intelligence" as a famous corporation motto, might just be improving state-space search.
Humans are incredible at state space search, it's obvious as soon as you consider the potential data pointsnof any problem we face every day, from washing dishes to designing algorithms.

??? This isn’t true. The author doesn’t seem to have an understanding of modern AI.

#5Is this simply an argument in favor of genetic algorithms or is there more to it than that?
Re: Why lifeless AI is not intelligent
#6Sure, if you define "intelligence" as "solving problems in a variety of environments to accomplish your own goals and self-replicate", then no, modern AI is not intelligent. You have just redefined intelligence so that only living beings can be intelligent.

You can abstract basically anything to state space search + optimization. It’s essentially too wide a classification to be that useful.

But that's literally what ML training does. Just like a human, neural nets learn heuristics to take advantage of the fact that of all the possible mappings of inputs to outputs, there are actually vanishingly few output states that are valid. Arguably all learning is indeed a reduction of state space, be it by human or machine.

A computer virus that evolves and spreads and is too elusive for humans to eliminate would fit that scenario. I think the point is that as long as humans defines what the AI should do it will never be intelligent, it will only become intelligent when we lose control of it.
I think that was his point, not sure I agree with it but at least it isn't trivially wrong.

Where does the inspiration for ANN/CNN/RNN come from?
