This is *half* about what I’ve been saying for years. AGI is about “CREATIVITY BY IDEAS” as opposed to narrow AI “RATIONALITY BY FORMULAE/ALGOS”
you give your robot a brief GENERAL IDEA/OUTLINE of a complex course of action: e.g. “GO TO THE KITCHEN”– or as here GO FIND BOB/THE OBJECT but do not tell it exactly what to do (thus saving billions of years of programming labour) - the total opposite of the narrow AI, TM approach – which is to provide a FORMULA/ALGORITHM detailing a complete STEP-BY-STEP course of action and telling the robot exactly what to do (hugely expensive in programmers’ time) And the robot then improvises/creates a NEW, DIFFERENT course of action for the first time (CREATIVE) - the complete opposite of narrow AI robots which iterate the SAME OLD courses of action for the nth time (RATIONAL/ROUTINE) I’m pretty sure this project ain’t it, but like Brooks’ Baxter robot it is moving a step closer to true AGI/ ACI (Artificial Creative Intelligence) and the final destination is inevitable. All the GOFAI projects like Ben’s et al’s should wake up and smell the GO TO THE KITCHEN coffee.
