This is a tenet of symbolic AI. We shall not conversely assert that formalization is the only way (to back up automated judgements.) One of the ethic requirements for AI is explainability. This might mean that AI is simply a complicated machine making equivalent inferences on behalf of humans, while we prohibit what a human cannot understand or what human language cannot convey. If we skip the ethics part for now, was the above philosophically sound? What counts as an automated inference backed up by human inference? It can only be articulated after the fact (after obtaining the automated inference results,) but perhaps if the subject is not formalized, any post-hoc explanations might not be considered comparable to pre-hoc explanations, not even if the same person produced these two explanations consecutively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">That Conway Paper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past month I realized the great significance of this paper, which had been sleeping in my reading list for 5 months.
