Why not both? It is like fighting between engineers of digital electronics and analogue electronics. I believe the practical applications should use hybrid approach.
- mindcrime 8y agoI believe the practical applications should use hybrid approach. FWIW, I 100% agree with this. At least in the short-term. I think any "real" AGI will use elements of symbolic processing and sub-symbolic processing expressed as probabilistic / statistical pattern matching using something like ANN's. The question I have is whether or not, in the end, all of what we call "symbolic processing" can eventually be expressed as operations at that ANN level (that is, can the "separate" domains actually be unified)? Given what we know (or think we know) about how the human brain works, I lean towards the answer being "yes", but I don't necessarily think we have to have everything reduced to ANN-level before we can achieve useful AI's. Arguably that last sentence was sill, because we already have "useful" AI, depending on your definitions of "useful" and/or "AI". :-)
