Ask HN: What's stopping a hardwired AI

2 points by KinetiNode ↗ HN
Simple question: can't AI exist as a "hardcoded" / coded purely using transistors and logic gates with builtin weights? (Of course from an open source model) And then just power it so every output is PHYSICALLY generated based on the input. (For example a binary added can take in information, add the bits and output with very less power consumption, can we do the same for AI?) Remove the obvious stuff like how AI isn't perfect yet ..

It will be obsolete on day one, for one thing.
in terms of current event knowledge, perhaps. but in terms of coding and system admin, the current frontier model weights could easily be cast into silicon and be useful to every system it is installed into. every new computer comes capable of writing all its own software and doing its own expert system admin. that will definitely be a thing in the future.
