It's an interesting question and ties in with the whole idea that "human-level intelligence" is really anything like some kind of gold-standard of intelligence. We kind of imply that is so, but only because we need to interact with it -- but that is conflating two separate issues. One issue is the idea that there is an intelligence that pervades all reality, how do we define that? .... and the other issue is if automating some form of intelligence as close to being like ours is possible. > > > > ------------------------------------------- > AGI > Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now > RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/11943661-d9279dae > Modify Your Subscription: > https://www.listbox.com/member/?&; > Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com > ------------------------------------------- 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
