"let's start with the approach. I'd say first of all that my approach is the historical one, that of early artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence, born at the 1956 Dartmouth conference, is a technical discipline that brings together philosophers, computer scientists, engineers, neuroscientists, and psychologists of the time."

"In the community of artificial intelligence scholars, this type of approach, which brings together expertise from different fields to study the same phenomenon in both biological and artificial systems, is extremely rare. Today, hyper technicality clearly prevails."

"Those who work in computer vision, those who write facial recognition software, know almost nothing about the technical developments that concern, say, automatic reasoning systems: they know almost nothing about that sub-area of artificial intelligence. Furthermore, still using the example of computer vision, another important aspect is the fact that, in the vast majority of cases, this approach no longer draws on what we know from studies regarding the vision of other biological entities, such as humans or even animals."

"And this applies not only to vision but to all areas perception, action, reasoning, and even natural language, as is evident today with ChatGPT and other generative models of this type. It's important to emphasize that the way these systems respond has nothing to do with the way we humans generate responses using our linguistic competence."
