I think we're not disagreeing, exactly.
As a simple example, here is a set of assertions:
* The moon is made of green cheese
* The moon is crystalline rock surrounding an iron core
It wouldn't take an AI to see that both of these can't be true, even if we weren't clear about what a moon is made of, exactly.
Some of our common understanding could contain more complicated internal contradictions that might be harder for a human to tease apart, that an AI might be able to identify.
- akiselev 5y agoHow would the AI know that "made of green cheese" isn't just another way of saying "crystalline rock surrounding an iron core"? To find a contradiction in a statement like "X is A. X is B" it'd first have to be intelligent enough to know when A != B. In your example, that's not as simple as 1 != 0.
