Forget the hype, “thinking machines” can’t replace humans
I have been under the impression that Artificial Intelligence is a buzzword and misnomer, at least in today&#x27;s state of the art. Isn&#x27;t most of the foundation built on linear regressions to &quot;make decisions&quot; based on all the data it&#x27;s seen before? It&#x27;s largely a philosophical topic but in the computational sense it&#x27;s closer to another virtual layer on top of the ever growing virtual layers of classical computing turing machines where there&#x27;s a tape of tokens that feed into a processor and there&#x27;s an output. At least with our brains we can adapt and learn any task that has never been encountered before. For an &quot;AI&quot; we would have to program it to do a specific task and there&#x27;s nothing general enough at this current state to be considered &quot;intelligent.&quot; These machines have specific intelligence maybe to identify a dog&#x2F;object because it &quot;learned&quot;&#x2F;we told it how to.
