The quality and potential of the OpenCog AGI design is quite independent of my capability to predict the progress rate of the current group of humans working on the OpenCog code...
The compelling demonstrations I am working toward are:
1) A video game agent that holds intelligent, interesting, creative English conversations about what it's doing and seeing in the video game world
2) A mobile robot that holds intelligent, interesting, creative English conversations about what it's doing and seeing in its robot lab
The fact that I don't care about boiling these down to quantitative metrics, doesn't eliminate their potential compellingness as demonstrations.
Yes, demonstrations are critically important. Without a demonstration, I can only look at your diagrams and say "what an ungodly mess" or look at your source code and say "that doesn't look like it would do anything helpful."
But with a demonstration, I can actually do a litmus test on it and see what color I get.
Ideally, I'd co-op with it in my minecraft world and see whether it demonstrates the capacity for imagination (perception).
