There doesn't have to be such a connection. Of course different approaches are going to have their pros and cons relative to different tasks, but that doesn't mean we can overlook the inherent difficulty of the task in question. It's a mistake to assume that spatial navigation and interaction with the physical world, for example, must be inherently simpler tasks than abstract reasoning.
- toxik 7y agoWhat I'm saying, basically, is that achieving true artificial intelligence does not mean mimicking human abilities and modes of operation. Grasping a pen is easy _for humans_. I am attacking the idea that human abilities should somehow serve as a benchmark or landmark for robotics and AI. Academia is really caught in that idea, and it is often used to justify research directions and whole fields.
- jamesrcole 7y agoOk, but I don't see the relevance of that point to what I said in my comment.
