Moravec's paradox is the observation in artificial intelligence and robotics that, contrary to traditional assumptions, reasoning requires very little computation, but sensorimotor and perception skills require enormous computational resources. The principle was articulated by Hans Moravec, Rodney Brooks, Marvin Minsky and others in the 1980s. Moravec wrote in 1988, "it is comparatively easy to make computers exhibit adult level performance on intelligence tests or playing checkers, and difficult or impossible to give them the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility".
This made me think about Ariel Moravec from The Witch of Criswell. A search suggests that Moravec is a Czech/Slovak/Hungarian name for someone with close ties to land. Literally "Mor" means marsh, and "Moravec" means marsh dweller. What would you like to share about how you chose the name Moravec?

To ask, I recently read about Moravec's paradox:
