I totally agree with this. A significant part of what shapes human perception of reality is not just 'nature' but 'nurture'. How would we be able to fully re-create all the social creation of a version of collective reality that a human experiences due to being indoctrinated for years by parents, family, friends, the community, and society?
I doubt this is something that could be trivially re-created by scientists in a lab-setting, much less fiddling with algorithms. It seems once the basis for human-like learning was in place for a machine, to approach human-like 'intelligence' the machine would need the appropriate social environment to learn the socially appropriate symbols and constructs to effectively relate to the world and function in a given community and society.
This assumes we care about having human-like intelligence. If not, it perhaps won't apply.
- SomeStupidPoint 10y agoThere's a very interesting question of if we can have a human-communicating, non-human intelligence. It's likely that our first AI will be something like that: a mind which is internally very unlike our own, but which has a substantial fraction devoted to being able to explain the human understandable versions of its thoughts. The scary part is that to us, it likely will feel very human, but to it, we'll likely be nothing but steering ants by laying out sugar.
