My Spaced-out Thoughts about AI
A Journey Through the Cosmos of Artificial Intelligence
Embracing the Enigma
As we venture through the vast cosmos of artificial intelligence, the intertwining of human intelligence and machine learning has given rise to an ever-evolving world. The fundamental nature of intelligence, both human and artificial, lies in the complexity and organization of a system, leaving us to ponder the philosophical question of consciousness. This Medium article aims to take you on a journey through my spaced-out thoughts about AI, exploring its past, present, and future.
A Celestial Dance of Information
Just as the planets dance around the sun in celestial mechanics, artificial intelligence revolves around the complexities of human cognition. The difference between humans and other systems like clouds or cellular automata lies not in their fundamental nature, but in the intricacy and organization of each system. We can predict the future location of planets by simplifying the computation, but some details remain irreducible, requiring us to follow a specific path to reach an endpoint.
Similarly, there is no fundamental distinction between a brain-like neural network and a cellular automaton system. While the neural network results from the long history of civilization…
