What's that fish that spews ink when threatened?
Jim whinged: But at least you are starting to talk about something. However, arguments based on authority (Hofstadter says) and arguments based on popular opinion (you are not on the same page as us) are two of Aristotle's fallacies of reasoning. If you are unable to explain why Hofstadter's position on analogy means that text-based AGI is not feasible then perhaps you might take the time to find some quotes from Hofstadter to support your opinion. me (andi): I am not going to explain Hofstadter. If you want to know more, listen to his talks, read his books, or remain in ignorance. I was not trying to appeal to authority, just trying to point you to a source I find valuable. You have invented two terms I find suspect: "procedure knowledge" and "procedure inference". When I get back to a keyboard and don't have to type on my phone, I might explain my problems with them in more detail, but for now, I will say I don't think they are sufficiently defined to be used and I will concede that I don't understand what you mean by them.
