Yes, that is all it does. All AIs will be, at their core, pattern
matching machines. Every one of them. You can then procede to tack on
any other function which you believe will improve the AI's performance
but in every case you will be able to strip it down to pretty much a
bare pattern matching system and still obtain a truly formidable
intelligence!
I think that pattern matching is an ancillary function and yes the more
resources devoted to this allows for a better AI/AGI. Pattern matching
operates on data streams for example video and pattern matching at various
abstractions can operate on a data store. It seems pattern matching is a
part of consciousness and a component of intelligence but just part of the
core. If you strip everything out except pattern matching operations, what
do you do with the matched patterns? How do you store and organize them?
What decides further action? How are the pattern matching operators
adjusted?

I think that pattern matching is crucial, and pretty basic. It's also
not sufficient. Calling it ancillary is improperly denigrating it's
centrality and importance. Asserting that it's all that's needed,
however, is WAY overstating it's importance. Saying "All AIs will be,
at their core, pattern matching machines." is overstating the importance
of pattern matching so much that it's grotesque, but pattern matching
WILL be very central, and one of the basic modes of thought. Think of
asserting that "All computers will be, at their core, adding machines."
to get what appears to me to be the right feeling tone.
