Then the time is not far off
when we can build politicians instead of going through the tedium of electing them!

Note also that this is a relatively "simple" task...
Just flying in a straight line (while admittedly does require some stimulus/response activity) does not in and of itself require large amounts of judgement or foresight.

Try actually maneuvering in one, or landing, or taking off..
I bet going straight is a LOT simpler.

It is a fly by wire Plane.
But, you still have to adjust for the unknowns. The Auto-Pilot isn't good at doing the.
BUT, it this is true and it actually works... Auto-Pilots of the current variety are dead.

stop and think for a moment
a saucer full of mice brain cells on a 60 electrode grid flying an F22 simulator.
Now why in world would those cells giva shit whether they crash or fly straight?
Think about it. I want you to learn to walk blind on a busy street worth of traffic, you are going to be able to learn by getting hurt, its called trial and error. What error correcton can you give a group of cells? Now cellular computing can be done but AI? Dont think so.

well dipped indeed but you said PAIN
[link|http://brain.web-us.com/brain/bio_org.html|http://brain.web-us....rain/bio_org.html] the organism feels pain, the brain does not.
Now if they teach it to fly as you suggested by running currents in different paterns but that is PROGRAMMING not AI as the cells did not LEARN to fly the programmers gave instructions no different than a C++ on an Intel program.

They DID learn to do it, though.
And... Define 'pain'. Isn't it just a trickle of current going to the brain that signifies a 'negative' event?

not current, chemicals
That was my argument to begin with, how could it learn without negative input. If the input was artificially applied you are just programming a biologic computer.

That makes it's own connections
And yes, nerve cells produce current chemically. Sensory impulses are still electrical. The rat-brain computer essentially learned to fly over time. "When we first hooked them up, the plane 'crashed' all the time," Dr Thomas DeMarse, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Florida, said. "But over time, the neural network slowly adapts as the brain learns to control the pitch and roll of the aircraft. After a while, it produces a nice straight and level trajectory."

now I read it again it still doesnt make sense
how would the plane crashing be any different from a pitch, a yaw or a level flight to a petrie dish full of cells? So why would it "learn" to fly?

Negative result is 'crashing'
Positive, level flight.
Think learning to walk (on a simpler scale) walking is a positive result, negative is falling.
Or -
Crashing 'hurts'.

nope, if they learned by themselves
crashing would be the same as flying level why would they care or recognise the difference?

Why do kids care
if they walk or crawl?
The brain doesn't feel 'pain' after all. It just accepts input and provides output.
Just like the complex of nerve cells they put together for this experiment...

When they did this in silicon years ago . .
. . they set up a random mesh of logic connections. When they got a wrong answer they used an electrical charge to burn out the connections that made that decision. They finally ended up with a logic network that gave the right answers, but had no idea how it worked.
Of course a silicon system like that is many orders of magnitude more simplistic than a biological system that can actively build new connections.
