In software, improvisation is done in many, many applications. In robotics and other electromechanical media it is done experimentally, not to the extent you suggest, but looking for a box in rubble, although there are robots that do this somewhat, it can be a bit dangerous depending on the application. We know all this Mike. We know the difference between AI and AGI that's why we work on it. But we have concrete technical research and theories and experimentation not just handwavium. Your problem issue is that you don't acknowledge other people's work and really show no respect. Rare or/ unique individuals like Ben Goertzel who produce a high quantity and quality of related ground-breaking literature, for public consumption by the way, you totally disregard and disrespect without reading and understanding more that 1% of it. Then we give you this little platform, this email list, a window into some of the remaining participating AGI researcher's minds and you really abuse it... I give you credit, you come back like a tiger whenever challenged. BUT - AGI is one of the most important things to happen in science and technology, and human history. Picture yourself walking into NASA and telling them that they screwed up and don't know what they are doing because there has never been a man walking on Mars. Go try it, without any scientific or technical background and see what happens. AGI is huge. This is the be-all end-all. And this is a rare opportunity to participate in something this big from the ground up. These opportunities are gone before you blink. Don't be a troll.
