If you wonder if a computer system can think logically or if its very stupid, its always the latter.

If you wonder if a computer system can think logically or if its very stupid, its always the latter.
- MomoXenosaga 6y agoComputers don't think they just follow programming. The fault always lies at the humans who wrote the code. See HAL in 2010.
- Retric 6y agoHAL was envisioned based on an early approach to AI. Modern AI techniques really don’t fit that model.
- wizzwizz4 6y agoModern AI techniques also don't really work as well as many think; they're awesome, but the hype far exceeds the reality. (For example, self-driving cars are very far away.) A HAL-like approach is actually better for most purposes I've encountered than “throw the problem at a deep neural net”.
- Retric 6y agoThe hype is excessive, but a lot of stuff is good enough for the real world even if it’s far from perfect. Self driving crashes for example are rare enough to make the news. That might not be good enough, but it is a very high bar. We crossed a threshold where it’s significantly more dangerous for someone do 90+MPH on the open road than set their car to do 5 over the speed limit and take a nap on that same trip. That’s a long way from level 5, but Honda has approval to operate at level 3 where drivers don’t have to monitor road conditions under specific conditions. https://carbuzz.com/news/honda-reveals-first-level-3-self-driving-production-car https://carbuzz.com/news/honda-reveals-first-level-3-self-dr...
