The idea that the machine needs to be physically present to alter the physical world is laughable. all you need to do that is communication with humans who could alter it for you.
It doesn't hint at anything like that all. That's like saying humans being unable to fly or intuitively sense electromagnetic fields to divine locations says anything about how humans can generalize.
There are millions of humans who are disabled and can't drive or walk and will never be able to. are they not still general intelligences ? are they automatically less intelligent ?
- jampekka 3y agoThat idea is of course laughable, but I didn't say anything of the sort. It's not the physicality, but the messiness, ambiguity and harsh consequences of the natural environment. Current machines operate in environments that are deliberately designed to be highly structured with clear goals and where consequences of errors are highly mitigated. Machine learning has made some more messiness possible, but it still depends quite a bit on predefined structure.
