He lost me when he used "universality" to say this: That's the basis of the buildup to his main argument (philosophical framework). It seems flimsy. Maybe because I barely have a working knowledge of AI sufficient enough to understand this article. Anyway, the reason I liked his point about chess so much was because every approach to building AI, to depicting AI in film or literature, always starts and ends by metaphorically copying the brain. I feel that this may be impossible, but that there are other avenues to creating artificial intelligence.And yet ‘originating things’, ‘following analysis’, and ‘anticipating analytical relations and truths’ are all behaviours of brains and, therefore, of the atoms of which brains are composed.
