I’ve been intrigued by Artificial Life for a while; I feel like it’s the way forward for GAI. I think the ML approach leaves out a lot of what is required to develop interesting intelligence.
The main challenges I see are:
1) With any given simulation, it’s going to take a long time before something really noteworthy emerges, and until then how do you know you’re on the right track?
2) What is the fitness function? This has always stumped me. How do you create artificial resources and competition and life and death to drive evolution?
