Well, it is maximizing what ever I defined for it to maximize, usefully for me, and in a way that is practical. In any case, you said, “All I supposed was that the AI was doing something.” . My AI is doing something.
This is obviously easiest when the AI’s substrate has some built-in capacity for input/output. If we’re being really generous, it might have an autonomous body, cameras, an internet connection, etc.
Yea, and it’s rolling forward and clamping it’s manipulators until they wear out. Clearly you want it to maximize something in the real world, not just do something. The issue is that the only things it can do approximately this way is shooting at colour blue or the like.
Everything else requires very detailed model, and maximization of something in the model, followed by carrying out of the actions in the real world, which, interestingly, is entirely optional, and which even humans have trouble getting themselves to do (when I invent something and to my satisfaction am sure that it will work, it is boring to implement, and it is a common problem). Edit: and one other point, without model all you can do is try random stuff on the world itself, which is not at all intelligent (and resembles the Wheatley in portal 2 trying to crack the code).
