@jAsE well i guess there is a lot of complexity.. But at its core, the basis of a decision that makes a program smart(er) is an if statement. (or a number of them)
-
There is a philosophical theory that even humans are just programmed in a giant list of if statements. It's called digital thinking
-
@jAsE you are absolutely correct. But still, think about for example neural networks, that are trained with some sample data, to be able to respond to other data later.
During the learning process they are given some inputs with their known outputs. At first they make a guess on the output and IF there is error, they change their inner parameters, so as to make a better guess in the next try.
Later on, when they are given the real data, sure they may not use if statements, but all the knowledge they have, is based on those previous ifs. So in a way they are still "incorporated" in their "code". -
620hun83757yThat's how intelligence works. All decisions are made based on past experiences (except for reflexes).

@thedillo Intelligence is a combination of If statements repeatedly combined with weights, semi-random noise, and normalization functions.
Chill the fuck down, AI won't take over humanity anytime soon
