1) You don't define the difference between narrow AI and AGI - or make clear why your approach is one and not the other
2) "Learning about the world" won't cut it - vast nos. of progs. claim they can learn about the world - what's the difference between narrow AI and AGI learning? 3) "Breaking things down into generic components allows us to learn about and handle the vast majority of things we want to learn about. This is what makes it general!" Wild assumption, unproven or at all demonstrated and untrue. Interesting philosophically because it implicitly underlies AGI-ers' fantasies of "take-off". You can compare it to the idea that all science can be reduced to physics. If it could, then an AGI could indeed take-off. But it's demonstrably not so. You don't seem to understand that the problem of AGI is to deal with the NEW - the unfamiliar, that wh. cannot be broken down into familiar categories, - and then find ways of dealing with it ad hoc. You have to demonstrate a capacity for dealing with the new. (As opposed to, say, narrow AI squares).

I've attached my second draft of it in PDF format, if you guys are at all interested. It's still a work in progress and hasn't been fully edited. Please feel free to comment, positively or negatively, if you have a chance to read any of it. I'll be adding to and editing it over the next few days. I'll try to reply more professionally than I have been lately :) Sorry :S Cheers, Dave agi | Archives | Modify Your Subscription ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=8660244-6e7fb59c Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
