> A child can recognize that someone is hiding under a box even if they have never actually seen anyone do it before.

A child of what age? Children that have not yet developed object permanent will fail to understand some things still exist when unseen.

Human intelligence is trained for years; with two humans making corrections and prompting fir development. I am curious if there is any Machinelearning projects that have been training for this length pf time.



With no real training, a child will start exploring and learning about the world on his own. This is the first roots of "intelligence".

How long do you think it would take to teach an AI to do this?


It would be interesting to see how much exploring a child without adult guidance does, being a parent there is a lot of leading to exploration that is quite a bit of effort.


I know a kid who recently learned to defeat a new child safety lock without adult guidance. AI *might* learn to do the same --- after training on several thousand videos showing the exact process.


I'd say we're approximately 400 years away from teaching AI to do this.


The next problem will be the cost/expense of maintaining and operating an inorganic AI with even a rudimentary hint of "intelligence".

Personally, I think it would probably be easier, cheaper and more practical to just grow synthetic humans in a lab --- i.e. Bladerunner. "Intelligent" right out of the box and already physically adapted to a humanistic world.


I LOVED playing peek-a-boo with my child at that age!
