I’ve been saying for some time (out loud to my friends, anyway) that deduction is just a thousand inductions in a trenchcoat. I take this to be true in an abstract epistemological sense, but perhaps more importantly in the sense of the physical operation of our brains. It’s obvious to me that the human brain doesn’t contain a formal logic module. I don’t see why we should expect AI to be any different (aside from “it’s in a computer, and I think I know what computers are”).
