The answer has become more complicated in recent years, but the question of whether computers have existed for quite some time has existed for quite some time. Richard Feinman As proven, I was asked about it 40 years ago The above lecture clip. As his fans would expect, he approaches the problems of artificial intelligence with his distinctive stimulation and humor. He also tends to recreate conversations in his own words. If the question is whether machines think like humans, he says no. If the question is whether machines will become more intelligent than humans, it depends on how you define intelligence.
Even today, for superior proficiency than humans in every possible task, as Feynman clearly states, it remains a very high order for every machine to meet our constant demands. And even when their skills beat humanity, for example, in the field of arithmetic where computers essentially dominate, they don’t use computational devices the same way humans use their brains.
Perhaps, in theory, you could design a computer and add, subtract, multiply, split it in roughly the same slow, error-prone fashion, but why do you want to? It is better to focus on what humans can do better than machines, such as the types of pattern recognition needed to recognize a single human face in different photos. Or, it was that humans could do better than machines anyway.
The table has been changed thanks to machine learning technology that has emerged recently. We certainly aren’t far from our ability to raise portraits. Along with that, all the other photos of the same person that have been uploaded to the internet so far. The question of whether computers can discover new ideas and relationships sends Feynman the very nature of the computer, how they do it, and how they can effectively lead to strange solutions when applied to problems based on reality, so that they can effectively lead to strange solutions. “I think we’re approaching intelligent machines,” he says. “But they show the weaknesses of intelligence that are needed,” Arthur C. Clark said that sophisticated enough technology is indistinguishable from magic, and that a smart enough machine probably looks a bit stupid.
