Logan: Look at these beautiful renditions tree with clouds plants and pond ..All computer generated, and made with math
This is the umpteenth time this point has been made – and it’s wrong – and provides yet more evidence of why many AGI-ers are so confused about the powers of maths ( Another classic misconception is that drawing programs (which are maths based) can draw!). These drawings are made by a human mind applying and arranging the maths/fractals. But maths/fractals do NOT generate visuals of realistic trees/clouds/plants by themselves. Fractals can only, at best,generate v. stylised versions by themselves. And they certainly do not generate a vast and endless range of individual, and different trees/clouds/plants/landscapes etc as the human artist and nature can. . Similarly standard chords by themselves do not generate a musical improvisation, even if they are contained therein. Human musicians apply and arrange those chords Maths can help with PARTS of the creative product, but it does not produce the creative WHOLE.. All you’re doing is *avoiding* the real problem – which is how does a human AGI mind APPLY maths and any other parts to produce those creative wholes? How does it apply standard chords to improvise? How does it produce an endless range of visuals of ever new natural objects? – when maths and every program can only produce an extremely limited range of objects – can only be the equivalent of a “Lego builder” as distinct from an “all materials” builder like the human mind?. How can a mathematician for that matter generate many new formulae and not just one? This is the unsolved problem of AGI – and pointing to the same old maths and the same old programs (like many before you) is not the solution.. . ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
