Most branches of science are quite happy to achieve successful computer
simulations, but none of them hopes to get the *real* thing, except AI.
Yeah, except AI isn't a science. It's an engineering project. The study
of human intelligence is science, but that's not AI (and the reason that
many scientists feel like the field of AI is lost - because they tend to
not do enough science to make the scientists happy).
Physicist don't expect simulations of particle interactions to produce
actual gamma rays; meteorologists don't keep umbrellas in their desk
drawers and biologists are not required to do simulations in
containment facilities. Why then should AI expect to achieve anything
other than a simulation of intelligence?
For the same reason that car manufactures expect to get real cars coming
out of their plant and not simulations of cars.
A machine implementaion can
only be truly equivalent to another machine. True AI is truly
artificial.
Only if you choose for some odd reason to define "intelligence" as only
being a human brain.
A real car is any machine that acts like a car, and true intelligence is
any machine that acts truly intelligent. It's artificial only in the fact
that it is created by man.
