I’m putting ‘dumb’ at roughly the level of cognition of a human infant
Then, as per the grandparent, the answer to the rhetorical question “Why would a dumb ‘minimize blue’ robot search for blue things?” is because it doesn’t happen to be a robot designed with the exact same peculiarities and weaknesses of a human infant.
Lack of object permanence isn’t a peculiar weakness. The ability to spontaneously leave Plato’s cave is one of the things that I reserve for ‘smart’ actors as opposed to ‘dumb’ ones.
