Why imitate human senses? AI should be able to reach out and touch radio waves, and interpret their meanings, much how we interpret the meaning behind gusts of wind.
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoWe can do both, but clearly the senses that mammals have are well adapted for existence on Earth.
- xwdv 3y agoExistence is how you interpret it. An AI’s existence might mean it has a very different interpretation of Earth.
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoSure but when I ask you to pass the potato chips I want you to understand what that means and be physically able to do so. The five senses we know well are very well suited for that.
