Real AI will never exist. No matter what definition we have ever set up as being “real AI” we have excused it and changed it once computers actually solved it.

Real AI will never exist. No matter what definition we have ever set up as being “real AI” we have excused it and changed it once computers actually solved it. Current AI is capable of creating “original” decision as is it capable of solving new problems “spontaneously”, yet you still will not call it AI. Not because it doesn’t live up to your defined standards, but because you want to define a set of standards that it doesn’t live up to. People get protective of the concept of intelligence and almost axiomatically define that anything a computer can do is not truely intelligent and therefore not “really” AI.

- ataturk 8y agoI'm less certain about your claim. How did human consciousness and self-awareness come about? I can easily imagine some hardware that creates a self-aware entity and then that creation begins self-improving at a geometric rate. It would be an extremely sudden stop for all life on earth.
