Brains are the only pieces of hardware on the planet that exhibit intelligent behavior. I think it's a bit arrogant to think we can do better when we don't even know how the thing works!
- Gonefishing 11y agoActually, anything intelligent wouldn't have used hardware, form factors, or mimics of form factors...Once. Anything with a form factor or using hardware, is rather retarded, and useless...
- jostmey 11y agoThe brain is the product of random trial-and-error filtered through selection (Evolution). This process was simple enough to give rise to Intelligence without the need of an example. Now, I'd like to think we can at least do as much using our own brains instead of relying on dumb luck.
- robotresearcher 11y agoWe have lots of examples of hardware and software that does things-previously-thought-intelligent much faster than brains do them.
- xj9 11y agoI realize that computers do things better than brains in many cases, but they are nowhere near as flexible or adaptable. Then again, I don't care about narrow AI, so raw performance isn't particularly important to me.
- Gibbon1 11y agoMy take is that's because brains don't do those sorts of things natively. Meaning, no there isn't some level of abstraction in animal or human brains that does lambda calculus. Which paradoxically makes us think that being able to do lambda calculus as mark of intelligence when nothing is further from the truth, it's just our brains are bad at it.
