MindForth Programming Journal (MFPJ) Tues.21.SEP.2010 -- (work in progress)
We are now in a strange situation as AI Mind coders. We have created an extremely powerful AI Mind at http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/mindforth.txt but we have been so relentlessly in pursuit of basic AI functionality, that many facets of our AI creation remain totally unexplored. Our most recent achievement -- yesterday -- was KB-exhaustive searches of the AI Mind through input queries put to the knowledge base (KB) of the emerging artificial person. The MindForth AI can now discuss its own existence with human users, who may tell the AI about itself and question the AI about its own self-knowledge. The AI Forthmind still exhibits quirky behaviour, but we have the opportunity now to track down each instance of quirkiness and to fix it on the most fundamental level. Simply put, the conceptual activations are out of whack. While the AI exhaustively searches its knowledge base (KB) for answers to questions, stray activations build up on peripheral concepts (not involved in the discussion) until suddenly the accumulating activations override the valid chain of thought and engender a mental aberration, a statement of nonsense. Let us try to solve one particular bug that looks serious. As we ask the newly KB-exhaustive AI "What are you?" and it answers with "I am (this)" and "I am (that)", we notice that, at some point, the verb "AM" in the responses starts to have zero ("0") as its "seq" tag instead of the psi concept number for the noun at the end of the "I am..." idea. Such a situation is True-AI intolerable, because every thought of the AI needs to lay down associative tracks for future retrieval and re-assertion of the same idea in its current formulation. -- http://robots.net/person/AI4U/diary/45.html ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/8660244-d750797a Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=8660244-6e7fb59c Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
