Any ability based on guessing must include means of correcting one’s guesses, since most guesses will be wrong at first. (There are always many more ways of being wrong than right.) Bayesian updating is inadequate, because it cannot generate novel guesses about the purpose of an action, only fine-tune—or, at best, choose among—existing ones. Creativity is needed. As the philosopher Karl Popper explained, creative criticism, interleaved with creative conjecture, is how humans learn one another’s behaviors, including language, and extract meaning from one another’s utterances.2 Those are also the processes by which all new knowledge is created: They are how we innovate, make progress, and create abstract

• There are no real AI, there's only AI technologies

  • None of those AIs have counsciusness, nor can learn from simple examples
• What else we need?
  • Intelligence is not just about pattern recognition
  • It's about modeling the world
    • Explaining and understanding what we see
    • Imagining things we could see but haven't yet
    • Problem solving and planning actions to make these things real
    • Building new models as we learn more about the world
    • Sharing our models, learning from others models
