Kasparov says that machines don't have purpose, passion or curiosity. This is typical expression of meat machine privilege. The purpose of a system is what it does (POSIWID). Feeling purposeful and not feeling purpose is just utility function giving feedback. Is passion anything else than utility function configured so that the machine does not wander aimlessly and idle? If the machine has lots of freedom to choose its actions and it chooses to avoid 'side quests' and prefers one issue over all others, does it have passion? How about curiosity? Consider phenomenon that is hard to predict and the machine can't recognize it. Is it curious if it has been programmed to investigate, poke around and learn. When boosting algorithm increases the weight for incorrectly classified instances, isn't that a primitive form of curiosity? Kasparov also says that AI does not make us obsolete. I assume that obsolete means that if meat unit is removed from it's environment, others (society) don't miss it's contribution. What does 'us' mean? I interpret that as 'AI does not make all of use obsolete.' This is most likely true since for foreseeable future. If not for any other reason than comparative advantage. The oversupply of meat machines has already made many of them undesirable (overpopulation).
