Ohkay… but… if you’re using a utility-function-maximizing system architecture, that is a great simplification to the system that really give a clear meaning to ‘wanting’ things, in a way that it doesn’t have for neural nets or whatnot.
The mere fact that the utility function to be specified has to be far far more complex for a general intelligence than a driving robot doesn’t change that. The vagueness is a marker for difficult work to be done, not something they’re implying they’ve already done.
