Oh, I know that. In fact, I think there are some very useful and very hard tasks which even AGI (at least a basic one) would not be able to solve.
My point is that we should focus on applications, not person-ness. Whether a technique is similar to human cognition or not, or the result is similar to a person, is immaterial.
Put simply, I don't think it matters much if all our super-powerful machines are ultimately Blockheads.
- kazagistar 10y agoThere is value in trying to emulate the human mind, which is in learning how the human mind works. A proper simulation of human intelligence would be an invaluable building block for health fields like psychology. Of course this is a very different kind of AI, and the focus on application specific measures of AI success have distracted from this goal.
