如果你不能把它编程实现,你就还没有理解它If You Can’t Program It, You Haven’t Understood It
Brett:这些都是不确定的假设,但我们也必须记住,关于自然选择的进化,我们还有太多不知道的东西。
戴维·多伊奇有句俏皮话:"如果你无法把它编程实现,你就还没有理解它。"
就通用人工智能(AGI)而言,这意味着我们无法把它编程实现,因为我们并不理解"通用智能"这个概念。
自然选择的进化也是如此。确实存在所谓的进化算法,但那并不等于对自然选择的进化进行编程。那并不等于能在计算机里创造出这样的人工实体:它们在真实环境压力的作用下,能够朝着越来越高的复杂性进化。
Brett: These are all uncertain hypotheses, but we also have to keep in mind that there’s so much about evolution by natural selection that we don’t know.
David Deutsch has this little quip, “If you can’t program it, you haven’t understood it.”
In the case of AGI, this means we can’t program it because we don’t understand this idea of general intelligence.
The same happens to be true of evolution by natural selection. There are things called evolutionary algorithms, but this is not programming evolution by natural selection. This is not being able to create artificial entities inside of a computer that, when subject to actual environmental pressures, are able to evolve towards this increasing complexity.
