Evolution is a process that works without an intelligent steward. In a way it's a brute force technique. Plus, nothing is optimizing for intelligence in evolution, it is merely a happy accident that humans ended up with the brains that we did. A different environment could yield drastically different evolutionary history
It doesn't seem very logical to think that because evolution took so long to get us to where we are now, we consequently won't be able to design an intelligent AGI system.
- didericis 4y agoIt’d take a while to justify this argument to the extent I think it’s justified, but I think we’re in an inescapable frame set by evolution, and our adaptation to our environment probably goes a lot deeper than what we can see. I don’t think the visible context is the full context, and think true intelligence probably requires an implicit understanding of context which is invisible to us.
