We could learn to. Through trial and error.
Even though a too big mistake means creating a psychopathic superinterlligent child who can clone itself, rewrite turns mind and easily hack the few American ICBMs not protected by the wondrous safety of floppy disks.
Seems a bit crazy to assume we’ll jump from ‘not close to human’ to ‘superintelligent’ without going through ‘barely adequate’?
Oh, definitely.
I was just musing on the previous comment and noting that one of the things we do best is learn how to do things we previously didn’t how to do.

That doesn't mean it's impossible to create artificial intelligences, though, which was Dreyfus' point.
That could only work even in theory if you've programmed in all the innate behaviours/desires human children have. And in practice raising superintelligent children who can clone themselves and rewrite their minds is not a thing we know how to do.
