“The best thing about writing fiction is that moment where the story catches fire and comes to life on the page, and suddenly it all makes sense and you know what it's about and why you're doing it and what these people are saying and doing, and you get to feel like both the creator and the audience.

“How hard is it to build an intelligent machine? I don't think it's so hard, but that's my opinion, and I've written two books on how I think one should do it. The basic idea I promote is that you mustn't look for a magic bullet. You mustn't look for one wonderful way to solve all problems. Instead you want to look for 20 or 30 ways to solve different kinds of problems. And to build some kind of higher administrative device that figures out what kind of problem you have and what method to use.” ThinkingWayWantShouldLooksKindTwoBookIdeasDifferentHardUseProblemOpinionWonderfulWrittenMagicFiguresHigherMachinesIntelligentMethodSolveDevicesArtificial IntelligenceDifferent KindsBulletsAdministrativeIntelligent Machines Author:Marvin Minsky
