I believe everyone here knows the xkcd I am referring to. Still, I think it's an interesting result. But, as someone on Fridman's podcast said the other day: recent advances in AI have all been thanks to advances in computing power, not any new ideas. The future if AI seems to depend on Moore's Law, more than anything.
- plutonorm 6y agoWhat makes you think the pile of if-else statements isn't conscious?
- 101404 6y agoBecause it's a pile of if-else statements shuffled until it was able to perform a single specialized thing. Any housefly would by a thousand times as "conscious".
