“Creating a human-level intelligence artificially is easy: just copy what happens in nature. We already have this technology, and we call it IVF.”

What’s the point of this statement? You know that IVF has nothing to do with artificial intelligence (as in intelligent machines). Did you just want to sound smart?



Of course it is related to the topic.

It is related because the goal of all of this is to create human level intelligence or better.

And that is a probable way to do it, instead of these other, less established methods that we don't know if they will work or not.


The goal is to create human intelligence in machines


Maybe some biological/chemical processes are efficient in some unexpected ways on certain things, for example, that would make mechanical/silicone based "machines" non competitive with such biological machines.

Which was the point of the post that you were responding to, if you actually read it.

I think the comment about "human intelligence in machines" may have been meant to point out that there is already a perfectly expected biological process to create human intelligence not in machines: When a mommy and a daddy like each other very much, they hug and kiss in a special way, and then nine months later...
