Why ‘AI’ Will Never Truly Replace Humans
Schauer Thoughts
Why AI Lacks Embodied Experience
Sarah explains that AI's lack of a body, sensory feedback, and pain limits its ability to learn affordances and motor sequences.
This week we’re going over what AI can’t “afford” to do that the human brain can! Next week we will cover more on the “neuroscience” (actually just programming) of AI, as well as the ecological impacts. No need to sit tight, this week we’re sensing, feeling, and moving through the communal Schauer as a collective to spite some *very much* artificial intelligence.
