Even a fully autonomous, self-driving car is not intelligent. It's just advanced software. Shouldn't we wait for actual AI to exist before worrying about it? Otherwise, we're worried about something that many not ever exist. Every argument about the dangers of AI or singularity clearly assumes that such AI is possible without any basis for said assumption. I'm going to continue being a skeptic till I see some proof. Until then, it's like worrying about zombies. I have enough things to worry about that aren't fantasy.
- inputcoffee 10y agoI agree with you in a sense. I think that the algorithms as they exist today are not capable of sentience. I was trying to draw out this thread with the statistical and symbolic implementation piece, but that went on too long as it was. Then I realized that Searle had made that essential argument so I used him. And that, everyone felt, missed the point. They are right but it is this insight you present here that motivated that detour.
