I'm also kind of concerned at how we're willing to give up understanding the specifics of cognition by just throwing data into differently shaped statistical bags and using whatever model seems to kinda work the best.
- jacquesm 12y agoI think this is in part an admission that actually understanding the specifics of cognition is a lot harder than was originally thought and the wholesale methods yield results.
- bane 12y agoYeah, the newer methods are getting quick and useful results. But I've heard some good arguments that it's unclear if these techniques are useful towards a general purpose AI or if they're just a distraction and we'll have to go back again and try to actually figure it out for real.
