One of the problems is how do you get an AGI program to be 'aware'
that it has found an appropriate solution to 'understanding' a
situation without some kludgy method of external reinforcement? I
believe that key structural insights may play an important role in
this process. I assume that most learning takes place through an
incremental process of accumulating small pieces of insight or
know-how.
It might be useful to make a distinction between acting intelligent and
having reached a degree of intelligence where one is "insightful".
There are millions of people who are mostly trained by "external
reinforcement" and we consider them to be intelligent. If people were
judged intelligent based on their ability to learn via "key structural
insights" then we would only consider scientist types to be intelligent.
My point is that we can be intelligent just by accumulating and
integrating what is "appropriate" even if we are simply told what is
appropriate.
I consider it an essential feature of a "baby" intelligence to simply
"ask" for the opinion of others. Even an ability to ask for help and
advice is complex. I would be thrilled if my conceptual AGI were able
to send out email to "cooperative" souls who would return "forms" that
the AGI could harvest useful stuff from.
