Algorithm is a step by step process to a solution of a problem.
Quote:Artificial intelligence is coming for everything you hold dear, and not even your beloved SAT scores are safe.
A new AI system can now tackle geometry questions on the SATs about as well as an average high school junior.
The system answered 49% of the geometry questions from the official SAT tests correctly, and was 61% accurate on practice test questions.
A new computer program does better at SAT geometry than the average high school student
There are programs that can construct formal proofs of geometric theorems. Computers can create algorithms. That you think they can't is just ignorance.
Still waiting on that demonstration of "could have done otherwise" which you've so far yet to provide.
You claim ignorance on me yet you remain ignorant of the fact that, that computer that solves these problems, solves these problems by using an algorithm -written and hard-coded by humans. It doesn't create an algorithm out of thin air.
Another example of "could have been otherwise":
I'm looking at the cars and suddenly I feel hungry, I look around and I don't see anything other than an ice-cream truck. So I get an ice-cream but then I realize I need a business, so I buy an ice cream truck instead of a car.
