I agree completely but it's interesting to note that there are lots and lots of consciousness theories out there on the internet but very few intelligence theories, and none of those consciousness theories are of the slightest help in making a AI smarter. I think the reason that one vastly outnumbers the other is that consciousness theories are ridiculously easy to come up with, there are no objective facts that they must meet, but intelligence theories actually have to do something. Consciousness is easy but intelligence is hard. >* I don't think you can build such a system with just neural networks - I > certainly don't think that's the fastest route to building such a system. > But if you did, you wouldn't be able to explain how it works.* > Even the AI couldn't explain how it works just as you can't explain how your brain works, but none of that would prevent a AI from getting built. You don't need to know how a AI works to build one, you just need to find a learning algorithm like the one humans use and its probably less than one megabyte, after all the entire human genome is only 750 Meg.
