How does Melanie Mitchell view analogy-making in intelligence?
I see analogy-making not just as a tool, but as a fundamental cognitive process—a form of perception. It's how we map knowledge from one situation to another, grasping similarities that aren't on the surface. This ability to see deep structural parallels is what allows for understanding, learning, and creative thought, both in humans and potentially in advanced AI.
