<i>You either have intelligence, and creativity, and uncertainty, and accidents. Or you have computers and rigid logic.</i><p>Why does it have to be such a strict dichotomy?  What are the specific tradeoffs being made between creativity and rigid logic?  Is there really no way to pick something in the middle?<p><i>The interesting thing there is, when a space rocket malfunctions, when a car wrecks, or the stock market goes crazy... and it&#x27;s a computer involved, it&#x27;s always human error at the end of it. And, thus, intelligence that caused the problem.</i><p>Individual humans aren&#x27;t always at the end of it.  Sometimes you can trace the problem further, to the incentives applied to the human by some larger organization, society or system.

It&#x27;s not clear that current AI research is bringing us any closer to that definition.
