Can AI Really Reason? The Hidden Truth Behind Apple's Blockbuster Paper
For real intelligence you also need reasoning, language, and analogy, none of which is nearly so well handled by current technology.
In field after field, we are finding that a human working with an AI co-intelligence outperforms all but the best humans working without an AI.
Rich Sutton's "The Bitter Lesson" reveals a fascinating pattern in AI research:
For decades, AI researchers have tried to encode human knowledge and expertise into their systems. They believed this would lead to better results. They were wrong. Time and time again, the approaches that won out were simple, general methods that leveraged raw computat

In a pre-AI world, in order to build an application, you needed to reduce your idea to a process—a set of rules by which your software would operate to accomplish the goal you set. Sometimes this w

What artificial intelligence finds most difficult are the sensory perceptive tasks and motor skills that we perform unconsciously: walking, drinking from a cup, s
