I think the stove and sex examples are on the right track but these qualities are also what every animal experiences. Well... judging by the face of a dog when he's humping your leg, I'm sure it feels good for him.
Anyways, I think there's another ingredient that's missing that we humans uniquely have. I think that ingredient is the fear of death. The knowledge that of all our intellect and powers as a human, we will inevitably die. Its better summed up by terror management theory I believe.
- MathYouF 5y agoDogs have achieved an unbroken chain of survival dating back as far as your ancestors have, so they've achieved the same survival goals as you. They've managed to do so without our intellectual abilities, which goes to prove that our goals of making RL algorithms become "smart" is malformed since high level complex and abstract reasoning skills apparently aren't a necessarily prerequisite to survival, at least in our earth environment.
