This is a really thoughtful piece on the philosophy of AGI by @DavidDeutschOxf: https://aeon.co/essays/how-close-are-we-to-creating-artificial-intelligence …
Could Artificial General Intelligence emerge just from learning, without a lot of innate knowledge built in? No, argues @GaryMarcus in this fascinating paper. (IMHO evolutionary psych will be crucial in guiding AI development and safety.)

It is a fantastic piece. I had exactly this in mind when I read the post you replied to. Wanted to cite it, but you beat me to it :)

If by "innate" you mean developmentally programmed in through evolution, yes. But how did natural selection find the right knowledge to hardwire in? That is a "learning process" too, albeit mechanistically distinct from how a baby learns.

It may not be wise to try to understand intelligence purely in a bottom-up fashion. But it certainly arose in that way through evolution, so it can't be the case that one needs to know what knowledge to hardwire in to get intelligent behavior at the end.

Color me curious. How do you see Evo Psych bring used in AI? For modeling reward functions and iterating? For setting up game theory-like environments for optimizing? Do tell!

Ahahaha. I’m imagine a single PDF page with the word, “No.”

"Right" means "effective" here.

Yes, absolutely. Though most of our abilities, when we're talking about intelligence, are as effective as ever. Recognizing faces, navigating complex environments, intuiting social relations, etc. Which of those are "innate" is another story.
