| > There's just something I can't describe with words about what it lacks today - where it's possibly more philosophical than technical My personal viewpoint is that there's nothing inherently special about biological intelligence that can't theoretically be reproduced with electronics, but that today's AI has some practical limitations like no significant persistent internal state. I saw an "Inner Monologue" paper by Google Robotics recently which could be a step in the right direction. > Humans for example operate within the universal set and within all dimensions we can percieve. Our brain's direct output is electrical signals to a set of muscles. I don't think there's anything in particular stopping a physical robot from having similar generality of operating space. > Even in todays state of the art if we gave robots all the sensors that we have they still couldn't evolve with their environment like we could Ability to evolve seems mostly orthogonal to intelligence to me. If humans instead came about by an intelligent creator or gradient descent, wouldn't we still be intelligent? AI adapting to the environment through gradient descent or self-modification should be fine and faster than evolution. > or invent fire like we would with current algorithm or neural nets. They would just keep doing whatever they're programmed to do within their set of "stuff" for lack of a better term In virtual environments, neural networks have adapted to changes and learned new strategies, even those not intended by the creators.
