Just like everything else that happens in the brain, right? But I don't expect this argument to go any further. You are right that we don't have AGI after 60 years of trying. But we do have self driving cars, automatic language translation, face recognition, and a lot of other things that used to be considered AI until we solved them. Maybe that is because we didn't worry about whether the solutions were "conscious". -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- 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
