All AI systems (including A* and LLMs) can be thought of as a system that explores a search space to obtain a certain goal. At least this is what I understood from reading artificial intelligence -a modern approach by Peter norvig.
Both A* and deep learning explores a search space based on a goal. The difference is DL explores when it's training and learns to use the right moves for a given input.
- jameshart 3y agoArtificial Intelligence - a Modern Approach was published in 1995. It should be fairly obvious that what we think of as 'conventional AI' might have changed in the last 28 years, even if we hadn't just been living through a twelve month or so explosion in the availability and power of generative AI models that transformed what people associate the term with.
- whatyesaid 3y agoWe are talking about 'conventional AI' in terms of games though. I don't think there was any explosion apart from the fact you can use generative AI to make art. That book has the latest edition in 2020. But yeah, A* is search space based, LLMs or DL I wouldn't call it search space based at all. It's function fitting.
- bee_rider 3y agoIt still seems worthwhile to make the distinction; it might be possible to think of them as the same thing at a high enough level, but the actual libraries and algorithms used are different.
