Things like this convince me that we will never get to AGI. I have a, perhaps untestable hypothesis, that an AGI could only be built by an AGI, or that if we create it, we won't entirely know how we created it in the first place. (Much as we don't completely understand how to create life force, even though we do create it, through the process of reproduction). We may be able to build components of it (like growing organs in a lab) but I am quite skeptical we will be able to create "life" or in this case "intelligence".
- seiferteric 8y agoIn my uninformed opinion, ML is more akin to the subconscious parts of our brain, like our ability to recognize peoples faces. We don't learn how to do this, it's there when we are born. It is a hardwired part of our brain that was formed through evolution instead of learning and does not involve higher order thinking. It's obviously useful, and could/would form part of a AGI system but unlikely to be enough.
