Thanks for the comment. I agree that what you describe is a hard part of the overall problem. I have a partial plan, which is to solve (probably using analytic methods) metaphilosophy for both analytic and non-analytic philosophy, and then use that knowledge to determine what to do next. I mean today the debate between the two philosophical traditions is pretty hopeless, since nobody even understands what people are really doing when they do analytic or non-analytic philosophy. Maybe the situation will improve automatically when metaphilosophy has been solved, or at least we’ll have a better knowledge base for deciding what to do next.
If we can’t solve metaphilosophy in time though (before AI takeoff), I’m not sure what the solution is. I guess AI developers use their taste in philosophy to determine how to filter the dataset, and everyone else hopes for the best?
