Original: 🤖 Why Artificial Intelligence Is Impossible [USSR Perspective on AI from 1984] From: https://archive.org/details/MarkovC
A 1984 Soviet text arguing that artificial intelligence is impossible is circulating online after being made freely available on the Internet Archive. The piece, 'Why Artificial Intelligence Is Impossible' by psychologist A. V. Brushlinsky, appeared in 'Cybernetics Today', published in English by Moscow's Mir Publishers, and pushes back against cyberneticists' claims that machines could replicate human thinking. Readers are sharing it as a historical counterpoint to today's AI boom.
Why now: Current excitement and debate about AI is driving interest in decades-old sceptical arguments about whether machines can truly think.
