Implies dualism. In a materialist world a computer can learn anything given the proper structure and stimuli.
- wombatmobile 5y agoThe limitation is more practical than theoretical or philosophical. Consider this line from an Eagles song: “City girls just seem to find out early, how to open doors with just a smile.” What does that mean to you? Disembodied computers don’t get the experiences required to gain that intelligence, and even if they could go along for the ride, in a helmet cam, they wouldn't experience the tingling in their heart, lungs and genitals that provide the signals for learning.
- goatlover 5y agoYes, but the key is the proper structure and stimuli, which animal intelligence gets through having a body. Can we get computers to have the same sort of intelligence without a synthetic body? This becomes more of a robotics versus traditional AI debate. Think Rodney Brooks versus Marvin Minsky.
