The most important: Theres no documentation saying how it works, its not modularized, whatever bastard got the idea to create such a system... nice, clean, elegant and consistent abstractions and APIs, please!



The idea of a brain API is both amazing and terrifying.


One could argue that such an API exists. It even understands natural language!


Rodney Brooks, robot scientist and iRobot founder jokes that God gave creatures consciousness so he could ask them when the hell is going on with them.


Wildly different localized standards though, and nobody can write a transform that actually works.


Wrappers upon wrappers and glue code ...


Self-documenting code base, right?


... and then does the opposite of what it’s told.


It's an API. Nobody said the purpose was for it to do as it's told.

It accepts input and responds according to its own training. Disobedience is a feature.


You can argue everything is a feature since the architect isn‘t around to contradict you. ;)
