> In particular, human players do none of the extremely tedious, extremely computationally intensive maths that computer players have to do.

This sounds like a Chinese room argument.

Performing computationally expensive maths doesn’t make the computer intelligent.

But that says nothing about the intelligence of the maths itself.



I see how it seems like a Chinese Room argument, but I saw it more as a statement about how much more there is to figure out about how the human mind does things, that we need to build such particularly powerful machines to defeat it.


But I didn't say anything about machine intelligence. My comment is about human intelligence.
