AI uses algorithms. Kind of hard to avoid. AI is a set of processes with different approaches; symbolic or logical, neural network and now probabilistic. The main issues are not in getting computers to do what humans can do in various arenas; they are getting computers to do it as quickly as humans, and to be able to "select" the best type of reasoning for a given situation.

Understanding (something, supposedly) is what you all are doing right now. You take it for granted. "You" are a sentient being. You are animate, unlike rocks and dirt. You, made of bags of skin and piles of chemical molecules, are sitting there reading your computer screen, understanding something or at least thinking you're understanding something, simulating other people's experiences...

and you seem to think this is a trivial fact of the universe?

Yeah, this is not an interesting topic at all, let's talk about Lady GaGa
