It’s just such a good illustration of where AI falls short. I had thought a lot about this, but I never had such a good example, just analogies and general theories.
"My contention is that AI is climbing the integer ladder, while complex systems are expanding in the realm of real numbers. (If you’re unclear on real numbers, they are comprised of both rational numbers — those that can be expressed as fractions like 1/2 or 2/1 — and irrational numbers like the square-root of two or pi that cannot be expressed fractionally.) Real numbers comprise every discreet point on a line, whereas rational numbers (and obviously integers) leave gaps.”
