Alan Turing's biggest AI assumption may have been wrong

Peter J. Denning claims that a fundamental assumption in AI, dating back to Alan Turing's 1950 paper, is flawed. Denning argues that essential aspects of human intelligence, such as common sense and intuition, cannot be encoded into computers. He believes this limitation makes it impossible to achieve true human-level AI, regardless of advancements in language models. According to Denning, this flaw undermines the potential for AI to fully replicate human intelligence.
