I was just working on my latest p=np? idea and I hit up against method that is either in np or is otherwise extremely inefficient. So I have to come to the conclusion that the human mind is not capable of SAT in p.
So then how do we figure how to deal with so many complicated situations? Of course I still don't know because so many situations seem similar to a SAT problem. The mind must be able to detect many different things that are going on at once or which might be useful to recall from memory to deal with a situation. But still, there is nothing in my own introspective analysis of my thinking which looks anything like a p=np process. So what is wrong with AI? One thing that AI has been consistently lacking is the ability to learn through conversation. My feeling is that this is not just a problem with communication but a learning problem as well. In other words AI is not able to truly learn except in a few special cases. Most of those special cases are examples of narrow AI but there are others where the learning that takes place isn't necessarily like other narrow AI but where the domain of learning is so restricted that it is narrow in the sense that the applicability of the method is limited. Then I started thinking of an artificial language which can refer to situations or objects in the IO data environment and which can be used to instruct a program as it is running. I think this is an unusual idea. One of the characteristics about programming methods that seem to catch on with programmers is that they can be used in a very simple manner and in more complicated programming. I think an artificial language which could be used to instruct a computer to notice objects in the IO data environment and which could also be used to refine those instructions using this artificial language with the references that it had previously established has a lot of potential. And it can help us become more clear about what is needed to make better AGI programs.
