    That’s like saying there’s no way a machine can replicate hand sewing.

        Complexity isn’t relevant to my analogy.
        The lessons learned from the failures and eventual success of machine sewing are.

        Unless you’re being sarcastic.
        Sewing really is surprisingly complex.

          I was being a little sarcastic 😆 . But I admit I don’t understand the analogy; what relationship does human thought have to do with human sewing?

            Sewing machines don’t make stiches the way people do. People tried for decades and failed to build machines that sewed like humans. They work by making their stiches in ways humans never would, or could realy. They had to invent a whole new way get the job done, not remotely the way a person would do it.

            AI will very likely be the same. Expecting machine minds to do things the same way a human mind would, to mimic human thought, strikes me as some kind of human centric bias.

              Ah, in that case we agree! I also believe that if a genuine AI ever comes about it will be quite alien.

                Gets me thinking there’s no way I could do sewing consistently. My adhd novelty seeking creative side (over powering my autism side) would be switching stiching types constantly, before I give up in the tedium of it. Could a machine do that?

                  There are sewing machines that offer didn’t stitching modes. In fact, different use cases have different optimal stitches. Like a decorative stitch can be whatever, and a hem doesn’t need to handle the same kind of forces as a join, which itself might require different strengths (like a dress shirt sleeve vs a jean’s pocket).
