Comment Problem complexity (Score 2, Interesting) 742
AI seems to be going nowhere because the complexity of the problem hasnt been thoroughly discussed yet. Computers are designed to be strictly deterministic(otherwise it would be impossible to use them, look at wind*ws).
When we try to emulate a system with an other system that is different in nature a lot of capacity is wasted.
That said genetic programming is one of the fields where we actually see truly intelligent solutions to problems completely generated by computers. Problem is the algorithms need computational power beyond our wildest dreams to even be comparable to single cell organisms in ingeniousness.
After all the nature has had 50 gazillion years to evolve.
