A recent article at the Gamasutra site highlights the need for artificial intelligence to be slightly stupid in order to accurately mimic human behavior and thought processes.
Besides being offensive to us, humans, this article illustrates what could become a disturbing trend in AI programming. Think of it this way – what’s more dangerous than a precision oriented artificially intelligent robot killer like The Terminator? We’ll tell you what – a STUPID Terminator. The reasons are pretty obvious. Artificial intelligence in the hands of a machine, computer, or robot can be a very powerful weapon and tool. Do we really want something that’s slightly stupid in control of that power?
