Thinking Machines

A proposed architecture for a true thinking machine replaces statistical AI with a deterministic recursive descent parser for the entire English language, where each word triggers a function to disambiguate homonyms and a reasoning engine computes exact responses. The author argues that language has finite meanings, making proper responses programmable rather than magical, and suggests this could be humanity's last original thought before obsolescence.

The first truly comprehensible AI

AI has taught us one thing - we can understand and know the universe. it turns knowledge and reason are not magic, but rather concrete entities that can be computed.

All this talk about AI has changed the way we all work and think. We no longer view our brains as these godlike objects, but are now able to have humility and see that we have become obsolete.

But we have yet one more frontier to cross - a true thinking machine. A thinking machine operates on distinct concepts, not abstract probabilities.

Instead of modern AI which is solely statistical, a true thinking machine is deterministic. I propose the following architecture as human's last original thought before we are truly obsolete.

I propose a true recursive descent parser for the entire english language. Every word will have its own function to parse and disambiguate homynyms. All language has definite meaning therefore there are a finite number of rules, but too many for one person to write.

Once we make this parser, we need a reasoning engine that goes through the tree and knows exactly what in being asked and exactly what needs to be computed.

The idea is all language has a finite set of meanings, therefore proper responses are not magic, but rather programmable.

The idea is each word triggers a function, for example where triggers a function that searches temporal memory and knows the rules for finding data.

Finally the response generator takes the computed answer and logically determines the most correct output syntax.

With AI this could be done fast but what if we all did it manually as our last hurrah!
