Veee(@vikktorrrre):Geoffrey Hinton: AI is forcing us to rethink what human intelligence actually is. “We’re not reasoning machines. We’re great big analogy machines.” “We basically accepted we were much less rational than we thought.” “This is an even bigger change that’s going to happen.” “Most people have thought that we reason using something like logic. We’re rational beings. We’re not.” “We’ve got a thin layer of reasoning on the top.” “But we basically use analogies to think.”
