Computational learning models can only do a well specified task if there is dense input-output training data. The issue becomes intractable - extremely difficult - for real world problems where you can't practically gather enough data points to cover nearly all possible outcomes

The AI industry is embarrassingly selling lies & false promises: Lies about how AI actually works & false promises about what it will be able to do in the future. The moment corporate greed caught a whiff of potential revenue from AI they went in full exploit & profit mode.

@KordingLab Facing "AI is held back _because_ computers (abstract models) are being used" is operating the same way as facing climate change. Except it's older (65+years). Cover your ears. Loudly say "LALALALALALA" and everything will be fine. Until it isn't. Which is now.
Well lookie here! Isn't this very thing the repudiation of the Turing Test? Finally. Can we all move on? I hope so.

What is more likely now is that when real A(G)I actually starts, how the future will view 7 decades of computer (Turing-machine)-phlogiston, continually failing, its entire false basis degenerating to a public ridiculous farce/($+carbon) plume before a correction fixed it.

I’d rather “resist the urge to be impressed” (as @emilymbender says medium.com/@emilymenonben…) All these systems are automated plagiarism with hidden human labour, stolen work, and worrisome environmental impact. (Also, it gets things wrong in so many ways. See next tweet.)

It took a century of "to burn things is to de-phlogiston-ise it" before Lavoisier flushed it from the science of combustion. We're approaching 70 years for "to do AI is to use a general purpose computer". Not long now, @GaryMarcus, patience. It'll be over soon.

People think that if AI models run on very reliable machines like digital computers then AI models must therefore be reliable. But intelligence is based on being approximately correct which is a very difficult thing to do compared to solving a problem with a clear answer.
Forbes asked me about Tesla’s claim they’ll sell humanoid robots to customers next year. My take: The only useful robot is a reliable robot. For humanoids to be ready for real work we can’t just be impressed by them, we need to be able to count on them. forbes.com/sites/robertha…
@matthewslocombe We tried to capture this idea a bit with these properties: x.com/irisvanrooij/s… You can satisfy some but than another one breaks. Admittedly, I am thinking of the “frame problem” as a philosophical/epistemological problem, not the narrowly defined technical problem in logic.
The 7 properties are: (1) isotropy, (2) open-endedness, (3) novelty, (4) groundedness, (5) sensibility, (6) psychological realism, and ... wait for it ... (7) computational tractability. 6/n
@matthewslocombe So for instance, you work on analogy. Analogical processing is exactly a type of domain general, context sensitive, creative, sensible and open-ended process. This makes it cognitively powerful ... but computationally intractable.
