??? This isn’t true. The author doesn’t seem to have an understanding of modern AI.
GOFAI might not pull inspiration from the brain, but connectionist style AI, which represents the vast majority of ai being produced and operated, almost exclusively uses brains for inspiration.
I think that was his point, not sure I agree with it but at least it isn't trivially wrong.
Humans have instructions too, which are rooted in evolution and biology. It's not at all clear to me how an AI that follows an instruction must, per definition, be considered unintelligent. That would imply Humans are unintelligent.
"Solving intelligence" as a famous corporation motto, might just be improving state-space search.
Humans are incredible at state space search, it's obvious as soon as you consider the potential data pointsnof any problem we face every day, from washing dishes to designing algorithms.
Such a qualitative comparison may offend some HN, but it's a useful means to communicate the idea of heavy "brainpower" that has constraints.
