> I don't think we will ever develop a human like AI until we give it a human like body to live in. This is not a new thought; there's quite a bit that's been studied and written on the importance of embodiment to cognition, perception, etc. Cognitive Scientists and a few other disciplines have dug into this a fair bit. And I agree about the article. This quote is just ridiculous: That suggests humanity shouldn’t assume our machines think as we do. It presupposes that anyone with actual knowledge of AI, neural nets, etc. believes that we're hot on the path of human-style artificial cognitive capabilities with our current tools. At best, we may have started building small components that in a future form, might eventually be assembled, Society of Mind[1] style, into something that eventually begins to resemble general AI.
