[agi] Flexibility of AI vs. a PC
One thing that has been puzzling me for a while is, why some people expect an intelligence to be less flexible than a PC. What do I mean by this? A PC can have any learning algorithm, bias or representation of data we care to create. This raises another question: how are we creating a representation if not copying it from some sense from our brains? So why do we still create systems that have fixed representations of the external world, fixed methods of learning? Take the development of echo location in blind people, or the ability to take visual information from stimulating the tongue. Isn't this sufficient evidence to suggest we should be trying to make our AIs as flexible as the most flexible things we know?
