      until AI gets over its allergy to innateness, it’s not likely to get very far.https://twitter.com/TonyZador/status/1193176924497096706 …

      Current AI doesn't even get near *mouse* intelligence--and a great deal of what mice (and most other animals) do is innate. If we could get achieve artificial mouse intelligence, we'd have a good foundation for human intelligence.

      What allergy to innateness? Isn't basically all of computer vision now based on pre-trained ResNets, with *innate* low-level feature detectors?

      Thank you for the reference. It's not a fair characterisation that AI has an 'allergy to innateness' or 'an unthinking commitment to relearning everything from scratch'. Innate cognitive capability comes from things like pre-trained ResNets or language models.

      It's an 18 page article. Could you perhaps point me to a relevant page, paragraph, idea or argument? After a quick read it's not obvious that this article has definitively closed off any further examination of this question.

      my argument is that we should look at things like that; prettainrd nets aren’t getting us to deep understanding. if you really want to understand the issues you will have to do some reading. it’s not going to come from twitter

          Thank you for the advice - I will be sure to seek other sources of knowledge. My point is that using pre-trained nets *is* to use 'innate' knowledge. Our neural networks are also pre-trained, by evolution. I'm open to hearing an argument against this but I haven't heard one yet.

          argument starts here: we really aren’t getting to anything like deep understanding using pretrained models.https://twitter.com/garymarcus/status/1192136091039649797?s=21 …

          fact: progress on benchmarks has NOT thus far translated into progress on dialog & story understanding. NO current AI can read a story/article or follow a dialog & build a mental model of what has taken place questions we should be asking: - why not? - what else should we do?
