Comment on Are Humans Intelligent? An AI Op-Edparent

Comments

That sounds interesting, could you please expand on that? Do you have in mind any particular facet of general intelligence that a milestone cannot be defined for?

Ah apologies for having been unclear. No, not like that - I was thinking about more meta aspects of it:

- shared context (shared biological & cultural heritage)

- recognition & willingness to ascribe intelligence

Basically trying to imply that the general AI problem is of similar nature to the 10x programmer problem - communication & recognition, or lack of thereof.

A 10x programmer makes a hard problem look easy. A general AI makes people around it feel very smart & productive.

Which is also why I prefaced it with, The terrain is not the map - we humans know surprisingly little about our intelligence.
