I am always a bit irritated with the AI people who are always claiming more than they really have. The main issue as I see it is that AI is algorithm driven, whereas living things are definitely non-algorithmic. Living things follow rules, but they bear little resemblance to the rules of computing. I think a major part of the difference is that computing is totally deterministic and living things always have a certain amount or randomness, or sudden non-determined change. Based on my study of nervous systems I think it fundamentally is due to the ratchet-like behavior, where change is step-wise not continuous. That's enough for now, we are starting to get into things I wrote long blog post on. <br /><br />Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. <br />Peace,<br />BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
