Ranking the Eight Jungian Cognitive Functions a based on complexity, computational cost, and evolutionary criteria.
PhD Computer Science Thesis Question
Prompt
Rank each of the eight jungian cognitive functions based upon their cognitive complexity, computational cost, and cognitive/processing intensive resource use required to process the information that each of the cognitive functions processes. Provide your justification for each of the cognitive functions that you rank based on what kinds of information they process, the computer/computational equivalent (For example Si = a computer long term memory storage such as a hard drive and other memory components used for different tasks and kinds of information processing and computation). Finally, you must conclude by proposing a computational cost model of cognition based upon the cognitive functions and develop it into a framework that describes both human and computer intelligence, and their evolutionary path - where we were, where we are now, and where we are going. Perhaps ask yourself this: for each of the 8 functions which operate in a function stack (4 front end processes, and 4 back end processes), which functions can be experienced and consciously expressed with some degree of autonomy and controlled deliberation by both primates and then AI? Are there any cognitive functions that AI and computers are not capable of utilizing and computing to the same degree and capacity as humans are, or, are there functions or A function, that is currently entirely unique to human cognition and information processing whereas AI/computer technology can only mimic or execute tasks in ways that are similar or appear to be like that/these function(s), but current technology does not come anywhere close to processing anywhere near the same kind of complexity and kind that humans can. And if this is true, what does that mean for humanity? Do humans consciously know about this/these functions, do they currently intentionally utilize them or those individuals who are active and dominant users of this/these functions? Or does humanity take it for granted and underestimate it, even sabotage and undermine it - look down on it? Or - perhaps there's nothing humans can do that AI can't do, functionally, and all these questions are irrelevant. That's up to you - its your framework - proceed.
