But in this classification, isn't "general intelligence" just a meta-single-problem-solver, solving the problem of which single purpose solver to bring to bear on this task?
I think I think, but might I just be using a single problem solver that gives the appearance of thinking?
- arethuza 7y agoI suspect the way we think in terms of clear symbols and inference isn't actually how we think but a means of providing a post-hoc narrative to ourselves in a linguistic form. Edit: Which kind of explains the failure of good-old fashioned symbolic AI as it was modelling the wrong thing.
- marcus_holmes 7y agoThat makes a lot of sense. An internal narrator on events explaining them to the passenger, rather than the driver of said events.
- arethuza 7y agoDefinitely not my idea though - couldn't find any good references to where I read about that idea. [NB I worked in good-old-fashioned AI for a number of years]
