A better algorithm would be one that actually watches and rates the movie. Even better would be an algorithm that searches the space of possible movies to generate one that it predicts I would like. Same with music. I won't live long enough to listen to all 100 million songs available online. Just because I know that free will is an illusion doesn't make the illusion go away. The internally generated positive reinforcement signal that I get after any action gives me a reason to live and not lose that signal. Unfortunately, the illusion is also why pain causes suffering, rather just being a signal like a dashboard warning light. What other explanation would there be for why you pull your hand out of a fire? ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T991e2940641e8052-M3e67ca0ef51cc7b3e5cca8da Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
