“Because my human-built computer is inferior is virtually every way to the one evolution produced.”
From LOGI:
“Current computer programs definitely possess these mutually synergetic advantages relative to humans:
Computer programs can perform highly repetitive tasks without boredom.
Computer programs can execute complex extended tasks without making that class of human errors caused by distraction or short-term memory overflow in abstract deliberation.
Computer hardware can perform extended sequences of simple steps at much greater serial speeds than human abstract deliberation or even human 200Hz neurons.
Computer programs are fully configurable by the general intelligences called humans. (Evolution, the designer of humans, cannot invoke general intelligence.)”
“Its stupidity is still smarter than the most brilliant human.”
Taking the earlier example of the eye, we’ve already surpassed it in just about every way. We have cameras which can see in much dimmer light, and cameras which can look directly at the Sun without getting fried. We have cameras that can see in radio and gamma rays and everything in between. We have cameras with higher resolution and better-quality optics. We have cameras that can actually detect the wavelength of every incoming photon, rather than being limited to the three-axis human color system. And so on and so forth.
“If you’ve ever dealt with fitting of really complex data, a random walk is often suprinsingly more efficient than any of the refined fitting algorithms.”
See http://sl4.org/wiki/KnowabilityOfFAI. Only in AI would people design algorithms that are literally stupider than a bag of bricks, boost the results back towards maximum entropy, and then argue for the healing power of noise.
