The central question in AI is -- can we make a machine that's capable of doing things we didn't program it to do? It's reminiscent of alchemical transmutation -- something out of nothing. A system that's fundamentally more than what went into it.
The magic of intelligence is that such a machine is in fact possible. Humans are proof of it -- evolution didn't program us to play chess or search for exoplanets or shitpost on Twitter.
Quick note for those who bring up cellular automata or other systems with unpredictable behavior: CA don't "do things" (implies a task). "Being more" than the parts implies being more useful and valuable (subjectively). Intelligence is emergent but emergence is not intelligence.
Unpredictability / complexity alone (e.g. cellular automata) isn't useful or valuable. Intelligent systems do things (tasks) they weren't programmed to do. They produce solutions that weren't contained in their programming instructions.
Hmmm, I think this is programmed...
Evolution theory doesn’t interpret human intelligence. Humans didn’t need this level of intelligence to survive & adapt to environment. Why humans would need math & language! Besides, consciousness. That being said, humans aren’t as simple as machines. That’s only part of them.
Evolution gave humans the ability of understanding. Once AI switches from machines that predict to machines that understand (whatever that means) we will obtain some form of AGI.
But as you said the issue was never making it. The issue was always making it in a short amount of time. Evolution took a hell of a lot of time to come to this moment. And AI is something that humans are trying to make within a decade.
Evolution didn't program us to shitpost on Twitter -- UX experts did
You make the same mistake as everyone else. Human intelligence is not reducible to the merely physical (like computers are). If mind was reducible in this manner, you couldn't know it.
Magic, indeed! I like thinking of this idea as super-evolution. I believe Judea Pearl and collaborators talk about this in the causality literature.
Except that we don’t really understand the full evolution program. It may be more complex than we assume.
