Hi PixyMisa, I will try to answer your both comments. I agree that an AI which can spot a rolling ball and know that a child might be following is a worthy goal. However AI discussed in EGB is able to do much more than that. We might not ''need'' AI that meditates, but can AI which does not can really be called AI? Or does our AI only needs to copy human behaviours which we currently understand as rational? Also regarding the pseudo-code vs brain statement, it was an attempt on my part to relate to what is called the hard problem of consciousness. The strictly materialistic view of the problem is not currently the best explanation we have, and is probably not the view of EGB.
