AI's Bitter Lesson

  • There are two approaches to AI: one based on hand-coding human knowledge and another based on self-learning through algorithms and reward functions.
  • The hand-coding approach involves inputting specific examples and strategies, while the self-learning approach allows the AI to explore every permutation.
  • The old cutting-edge approach involved searching for the best moves based on a distribution of possible responses, which required human knowledge.
  • The trend is towards self-learning due to Moore's Law and increased computation, rendering human knowledge less necessary.
