Well rest assured, we can build "human like" intelligence in the form of pattern recognition and prediction . It will obviously have a different model than a human, but is not really the point. I do not think we want to build awesome machines that come up with their own ideas about what is cool and not. We want clinical machines with 100% predictability and would prefer it to not have thought processes when idling. (It should be task oriented).
Pattern recognition and prediction is the key here, couple those with a multi layer hierarchal network of processes separated by domains, and it will be able to perform very interesting tasks. It will even have consciousness in an abstract form. I am not buying into all this talk of "Ion channel" based consciousness , I compare that to talk about pixie dust in the brain. We are not trying to build humans, but super intelligence. 1. Very true, but the model can benefit from multiple sources of input.. new inputs can add to the model. 2. Philosophical question, but I know that imagination varies a lot between individuals, just ask Stephen King. 3. I can guarantee you that we can build super intelligence, this is the rebirth of the AI gold rush going on right now so I expect to see amazing things fairly shortly. -Hannu On Aug 30, 2013, at 10:46 PM, Sai Kumar Dwivedi <[email protected]> wrote: > @Erik Blas > If it is true, we have to admit that we can never think anything new as a > whole.
