That's BS A crow can improvise a solution to getting food out of a small space -- but it can't improvise a solution to a physics equation A person with Aspergers may be able to improvise a wonderful solution to proving a math theorem or composing a sonata, yet may not be able to improvise a solution to seducing the girl next door... The Asperger's guy's neighbor may be able to improvise a strategy to seduce nearly any woman, but when you put him in front of a musical instrument, he may have negligible improvisational ability, just tweaking boring pop tropes... Your view of AGI is basically an anti-mathematician's version of Marcus Hutter's AIXI ---- infinitely good at improvising and creating and learning and generalizing in all domains.... That's not reality, that's your mental wack-off fantasy, my good sir... ben g ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-c97d2393 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-2484a968 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
