Why are we equating brute force with fake?

The human mind has many faculties, and the brain has correspondingly many functionally different elements. Plus years of brute force learning.

Compared to GPT2, AlphaZero and whatever we are waay more complex and had a lot more training done.

Probably the super secret sauce is in the hyperparameters that determine how to cobble all those functional components together to get something more than the simple sum of them. (But they are also learned and brute forced through evolution.)

AI needs better brains. (So R&D can proceed faster. We can test new ideas cheaper, we can optimize algorithms, so they'll learn and perform better.)



I'm not sure that I am equating brute force with fake.
