Ask HN: What's stopping a hardwired AI

2 pointsby 47m ago

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.

Yes , but I think the power consumption being 10x less is better here and don't forget way less memory
