an AI — Daemon
How do we know you're not swinging towards the other end of the spectrum, underestimation? — Agent Smith
(Wiki)The Turing test, originally called the imitation game by Alan Turing in 1950,[2] is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human.
What if we lower the bar a bit and check if AI can mimic a person of low IQ & EQ, almost no GK, and perhaps even a bit cuckoo? — Agent Smith
This is correct. Remember Sophia? It was presented in public as an AI that could "think" and interact with you. It can't. The handlers feed it information -- like a song, or answers to questions before the actual encounter. It's very limited. But people think it's the closest we get to an android. But it's really isn't. It's a cringe worthy creation of people.I've noticed that people who talk about "an AI" in this kind of context overestimate the capabilities of computer programs. Calling it "an AI" makes it sound like it's an entity, like a person, a mind. It isn't any of those things. — Daemon

incredible speed of the computer clock. — EugeneW
Well, I have several ways to show that I'm not underestimating computers — Daemon
I see no contradiction. — jgill
The false assumption though is that machines can exhibit intelligent behavior. They will always have 0 IQ. — EugeneW
The brain is a memory device and, roughly speaking, an analytical engine rolled into one. The ability to learn can be reduced to pattern recognition and their storage for future reference. All of these abilities, methinks, are programmable — Agent Smith

I change my mind, out with it. — Agent Smith
The brain isn't programmed like a computer. — EugeneW
If something is unclear I will happily explain it. But I don't really think that's the problem. — Daemon
I don't quite get the resistance to such a simple and intuitive idea. — Agent Smith
You need to understand the other person's argument before you can counter it. — Daemon
What's individuation? Do any AI researchers use this concept to prove that their work towards creating General AI is misguided, finished before it even begins? — Agent Smith
Let's meet at the halfway point. Would you agree that one of the things the brain is known for, in fact defines it, namely logic, is programmable (algorithm). Too, isn't it true that AI can recognize patterns? I might've missed a spot or two — Agent Smith
I don't quite get the resistance to such a simple and intuitive idea — Agent Smith
Logic is a way of thinking. If A then B, and if C assumed true together with A the C is B if A and C in the same class of truth. Something like that. Its just a train of thoughts running on your neural network. Unprogrammed. But structured by strengthened connections between neurons, which is how memories form — EugeneW
By the way, can you give me one example of a mind process that you believe is not programmable — Agent Smith
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
