Walking is no an AI? Have you tried walking and freezing your
brain at the same time? Not possible. Walking is immensely difficult.
Computers dont think the way we do. When you walk, you in fact use your
brain to tell your limbs and body how and where to move. If you try
programming the rules of walking on a computer, you will discover that you
cant do it even with 100000 if else rules. JUst imagine the dynamics of
your body and limbs. Make the situation more complex by adding moving
obstacles along your path.
AI is not restricted to language processing. It is a very broad
subject. AI is about understanding how human brain works. The progress in
AI is so little that we cant even model how the brain of a housefly works.
