Hi all, There seems to be some highly questionable underlying assumptions in this discussion. After spending 3 months of full time effort researching a health problem I had, only to find out that there was plenty on the Internet about it, but no way to instruct a search engine to find it for me, I created DrEliza. Anyway, the questionable assumptions I see are: 1. That ANYONE can be "trusted" (EVERYONE is laboring under misconceptions). 2. That you can successfully guess what you want to search for (the difference between problem solving and question answering). 3. That the correct information won't be buried in millions of miscreant entries. 4. That you can recognize the correct answer when it is displayed right in front of you (preconceived misconceptions).

Simply institute a six hour workday. That will easily create enough new jobs to bring back full employment. ------------------------------------------- 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
