What's less clear is whether it's productive to view predictive as
**the core** cognitive functionality of human-level intelligence, as
Jeff Hawkins and others have suggested
A chess computer looks ahead, evaluates positions, prunes its lookahead tree
and uses move generation to help to decide what avenues to explore.
Position evaluation has little or nothing to do with prediction. Tree pruning
is usually heavily based on position evaluation.
I like the comparison with aircraft and lift. There's more to an aircraft than
just something that generates lift. However, lift is quite important feature
of aircraft. Without lift, no aircraft will fly - and aircraft design is quite
strongly oriented towards producing lift.
