Sure, if I knew what this means; if it actually means something!
Since human thinking can essentially mimic that of computers, albeit at far
slower speeds, I'm now wondering whether and how computers can be designed
to more closely mimic how humans learn. For anyone who might know, have
they got very far with this in AI?
But on a far less grandiose scale, would be nice if they could simply build
computers that operate like the experience of riding a car; where something
doesn't go wrong about every third time you take the car out on the road.
Still say they could and should build back up function into computer, as a
core function. If its something everyone basically should be doing on a
regular basis, but maybe 5% of us are doing on any regular basis, build the
damn thing in to the computer and automate it as much as possible, with
options for manual control and over-ride.
If someone tells me its not that simple and much more is involved and its a
lot more complex than this, my response would simply be that this would be a
failure of imagination, because there is no intrinsic requirement for that
sort of intrinsic complexity or the sort of complexity that seems to
characterize computers generally, as opposed to, say, the experience of
riding a new car. If someone can go out and buy and put in an extra hard
drive for backing up, no inherent reason I can see why they couldn't build
this in in the first place.
