Modeling everything realistically is super hard - any interaction with the real-world is so full of the weirdest unexpected electric and mechanical issues. Who hasn't tried it first-hand can't imagine the half of ways that will almost certainly go wrong on the first try :) ... but as you've said for developing the AGI as a concept simplified worlds should work just fine.
- amatic 7y agoTrue. Simulations are always a simplification of reality and leave a lot out of the picture. On the flip side, successful robotics concepts might have more chance of being relevant to AGI.
- joe_the_user 7y agoIndeed, I don't think humans themselves model the world realistically, I think they model the world close enough but are able to adapt their prediction process for situation when their prediction don't work and/or their knowledge is inadequate. To model such a "satisficing" process, you don't need exact simulation.
