@rayckeith@techhub.social My prediction is: At the end of the discussion about AI we will be deeply disappointed by our own intelligence 🙂.
There is still seems to be an expectation to find the divine or magical spark that distinguishes us from everything else.
I don't expect we will find such a thing.
Some years ago, I read the book "How History Gets Things Wrong: The Neuroscience of Our Addiction to Stories" by Axel Rosenberg.
In the book he writes on speculations how our intelligence began to form itself. The interesting hypothesis was that it began as mechanism to predict the behavior of others in order to coordinate actions.
Which is, if one tends to harsh judgement, just a kind of token prediction.

@rayckeith@techhub.social Another interesting observation: having more words for colors can make you better at distinguishing them. The sensory input does not change at all, yet linguistic categories can make differences perceptually salient where someone else may simply see two shades of the same color,
