Artificial Intelligence as Strange Intelligence: Against Linear Models of Intelligence
Category: Technology › AI
Tags: Curiosity
What if intelligence is not a ladder? In a new draft paper with Eric Schwitzgebel I argue against linear models of intelligence and propose calling AI "strange intelligence" while human minds show "familiar intelligence". I develop general intelligence as multidimensional, use examples from chess engines to dolphins, and warn about anthropocentric bias in AI evaluation.
Rolly's Take
This blog speaks to the discerning mind that thrives on challenging conventions and embraces the complexities of understanding intelligence in its many forms. It resonates with those who find comfort in nuanced discussions, pushing against the constraints of linear thinking while exploring the richer tapestry of intelligence that transcends human-centric views. Here, you’ll encounter reflections that invite you to reconsider the frameworks through which we evaluate both artificial and natural intelligences, provoking thought on the limitations of our perspectives. This is a space for the intellectually curious, those who are drawn to the delicate interplay between philosophy and technology, eager to explore what it means to be intelligent in an ever-evolving world.
