Listen "AI Isn't Human Enough? Neither Are We."
Episode Synopsis
This segment discusses an argument against the criticism that AI is not "human enough" because it relies on heuristics rather than building "world models." The author contends that human cognition itself is largely based on messy, heuristic-driven processes and that the distinction between heuristics and models is false, suggesting heuristics are a form of model designed for efficiency under uncertainty. The text proposes that AI, like humans, can incorporate both fast, intuitive heuristic systems and slower, logical processing through modular design, mirroring the dual nature of human thinking. It ultimately concludes that future AI will be functional and effective precisely because it is becoming more like human cognition, which is not always perfectly rational but is nonetheless capable.https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/artificial-intelligence-stop-complaining-its-human-enough-bry-willis-qbufe
