Aren't we - as a group - better in this? I'm thinking about the scientific method, and the common differentiation there between the context of discovery and the context of justification. So you are free to discover a mathematical theorem by intuition or during daydreaming (like the molecular structure of benzene) - anything goes. But in the context of justification, you have to be much more disciplined - even if you trust your own intuitions and don't need to persuade yourself (of course generally you should not trust your intuition in scientific context that much;), you have to persuade others who are missing your insight. edit: And of course - in the end - to accept something as a true A.I. system, it probably has to persuade us that its intuitions are right, using the type justifications we accept. (So even if it has better types of justification - if we won't get it, they has to dumb it down to our level of scientific understanding)
