- I would venture to disagree with this. Why should AI be a copy of human
- I? Would we really expect an ET to have a human I, or some sort of
- alien I? The goal of artificial intelligence is not necessarily
- artificial human intelligence. As we don't have much intelligence
- around to build models on, much [particulary early] AI work was based
- on emulating humans, but it seems to me [I'm not well grounded ;-)]
- that this is less the case.
-
- I'm very much looking forward to "dealing" with an artificial
- intelligence that is distinctly recognizable as "alien" or a "computer
- intelligence" while still being a near match, my match, or better.
