Marvin Minsky on Planning - Dictionary of Arguments
Minsky I 45 Planning/artificial intelligence/Minsky: We cannot simply decide or choose to accomplish an enterprise that makes a large demand for time, because it will inevitably conflict with other interests and ambitions. Then we'll be forced to ask questions like these: What must I give up for this? What will I learn from it? Will it bring power and influence? Will I remain interested in it? Will other people help me with it? Will they still like me? Perhaps the most difficult question of all is, How will adopting this goal change me? Many of the schemes we use for self-control are the same as those we learn to use for influencing other people. >Self/AI/Minsky, >Conflicts/Minsky. We make ourselves behave by exploiting our own fears and desires, offering ourselves rewards, or threatening the loss of what we love. But when short-range tricks won't keep us to our projects for long enough, we may need some way to make changes that won't let us change ourselves back again. >Circularity/AI/Minsky. Minsky I 53 [Some personality traits may be necessary for planning]: Predictability: Because it is hard to maintain friendship without trust, we try to conform to the expectations of our friends. Self-Reliance: Thus, over time, imagined traits can make themselves actual! For even to carry out our own plans, we must be able to predict what we ourselves are likely to do — and that will become easier the more we simplify ourselves. >Personality traits/Minsky._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
