Isn't that true? At what level you call something intelligent rather than just a clever pattern recognition?
- jcoffland 8y agoMaking inferences is beyond pattern matching.
- bryanrasmussen 8y agohow do you know? some things that were thought of as inferences in the past have been shown to be clever pattern matching.
- jcoffland 8y agoCan you provide an example?
- bryanrasmussen 8y agoI believe chess prodigies were supposed to derive their superiority by inference but studies have shown that a large portion of that superiority was due to superior pattern matching.
- randomsearch 8y agoLearning chess recently, I think it’s a terrible example for AI. I don’t understand why it was ever targeted or trumpeted. To become good at chess you have to memorise the responses to tons of situations, simple pattern matching. It seems to me that chess is more about memory than about reasoning, in the same surprising way that scrabble is more about maths than words.
- solveit 8y agoI'm sure both operations, suitably formulated, are Turing complete, so I'm not sure what distinction you're trying to make.
