Strong AI is not a matter of "processing power". These pop-compu-sci guys are selling the 50s AI project which was already dead in the water upon invention (cf. Hubert Dreyfus' critique) but has since been realised by the compu/cog-sci people to be irrevocably flawed.
Today the thesis that Strong AI is a function of processing power is snake oil or a result of a serious lack of knowledge of this area. The latter is OK for a layman, not for this kind of "expert".
- higherpurpose 13y agoTo be fair, Kurzweil has always said it will take about 10 years to develop the software for strong AI, after we have the hardware/processing power necessary.
- Houshalter 13y agoTrue, however his prediction of computers being a million times larger and several times faster would be a massive improvement for current AI algorithms, not to mention what we will have by that time.
