AI - Do humans think algorithmically?

They have the "artificial" part working. Muddled. Some people do some of the time. But, most of the time -- no. The neural system is tuned for connectedness to reality. Computation is tuned for abstractness. They are poles apart.(Just my opinions )

The consensus can be wrong.It was already Turing's idea, back in 1950, that computation (or logic) could do the job). All it needed was more compute power and more memory. Successful AI was just around the corner.So here we are, 70 years later. We have far more memory and compute power that Turing could have imagined. But successful AI is still "just around the corner".There is a huge religion of "logic worship" out there. I am an atheist with respect to that religion. I see logic as a useful tool, but nothing more than that.

We won't, because we don't want that kind of intelligent machine.We want machines that think for us. We don't want machines that have a mind of their own.

The conventional wisdom seems to be that intelligence is just logic; that thinking is just the use of logic.The conventional wisdom is horribly wrong about this. But it is so deeply entrenched, that few people question it.

And that's not likely to happen.

LOL.My comment was, of course, intended to be about robots. Whether humans have free will is much debated, but lets try to avoid opening that can of worms.

This does not make any sense.
