We have literally no idea what thoughts are or how they are implemented in human brains. This is such a silly argument at this point. For 50 years people have been saying "obviously humans are just doing a probabilistic search" or some other such evidence-free assertion, claiming "it's not magic", an obvious strawman since no one is claiming it is. And for 50 years we have not created any system capable of creating new explanatory knowledge. Yet still the same claims are made, week after week.
- newen 6y agoI’m not saying humans are doing probabilistic search (not saying they are not either). I’m saying that if probabilistic search produces a result that people see as creative, then we can regard probabilistic search as something that produces creativity. Furthermore, just because we don’t have the computational capability yet to replicate human thought processes using, for example probabilistic search, does not mean that probabilistic search is not part of replicating human thought processes.
