The natural environment encodes "all the rules" for real animals, too. You need some constraints or else there is nothing to be learned. One could say that every survival task is also specific , but is a slight variation of previously learned one.
> pigeons predicting breast cancer with 99%
pigeons contain 340M neurons (with dendrites and all, giving them higher computational capacity than ANN units).
> Rodents stand a bigger chance at learning Go
They probably don't ; probably because they can't understand the objective function and their brain capacity is limited
- GloriousKoji 7y agoScientist have just recently taught rats how to play hide-and-seek for fun. Other scientists have found out that slime mold will model the Japanese railroad system. I wouldn't be surprised if rodents (plural) instinctively have a go strategy once someone figures how to make an analog game for them.
- buboard 7y agoits probably safe to assume that even if rodents are behaviorally trained to follow complex rules, they are mostly pattern-matching, and are lacking higher-level abstraction and communication models like humans do. If they did they would at least attempt to communicate with us, like we do with them. In such a case, an elephant that plays go by patternmatching is no different from a neural network that learned by patternmatching
