I'm very interested in your discussions about AI and C. Constance and I seem to agree in many respects about about this topic, imo, unless I'm mistaken, but I can't search this thread just using AI as a search term. Has there been many discussions about AI and C before on this thread or the previous threads that preceded this one? Thanks.
I'm certain there are many good posts here on other topics too besides AI, so thanks for the contributions by those normally posting here. I just want to start with posts relating to AI for now, so I'm sure some of you know if AI and C has been discussed much before these recent AI posts.
Thanks for your help.
If you can be more specific, I may be able to remember parts of the discussion that might be of interest to you. I would also encourage you to check with @Constance @Pharoah @Soupie in terms of their interest in AI and past discussions that touched on it.
Of particular interest to me is Hubert Dreyfus' critique of GOFAI (good old fashioned AI) and its proponents (for example Marvin Minsky and Rodney Brooks) and the response to that criticism. Drefyus' critique is based on his interpretation of Heidegger's philosophy. He wrote What Computers Can't Do and What Computers Still Can't Do.
I am also interested in questions of computability and of substrate dependence.
