I suspect the way we think in terms of clear symbols and inference isn't actually how we think but a means of providing a post-hoc narrative to ourselves in a linguistic form.

Edit: Which kind of explains the failure of good-old fashioned symbolic AI as it was modelling the wrong thing.

That makes a lot of sense. An internal narrator on events explaining them to the passenger, rather than the driver of said events.

Definitely not my idea though - couldn't find any good references to where I read about that idea.

[NB I worked in good-old-fashioned AI for a number of years]
