What I think is that, OTOH lots of people commenting on AI have not given much systematic thought to method, theirs or anyone else’s. OTOH they’ve also (uncritically) absorbed the idea that math and theoretical physics are at the top of some intellectual pyramid. Therefor, they conclude, AI is going to clear the board real soon now.Interestingly and somewhat paradoxically and tantalizingly, the one biological discovery where I think an AI might have had a chance of figuring it out was the structure of DNA: that’s because all the important data needed to deduce the double helix was there by 1953, and Watson… https://t.co/XnZ5lhNK6G
