The fact that we don't understand how neural nets work despite the excellent results makes an AI apocalypse more likely, not less. This means that if we ever create strong AI, we will likely not understand it initially.
Note: I'm personally not too worried about the AI apocalypse, but I think "we don't even understand neural nets" should cause more concern, not less.
- argonaut 11y agoTrue AI will require several breakthroughs. The fact that we don't understand neural nets means that much of the progress thus far has been hand-wavy and hacky iterative improvement (engineering, vs. theory). This means progress is very likely to plateau. When everything is hacky and you don't understand what's going on, those breakthroughs are not going to happen.
