Not so simple: The human brain has evolved a special "agent modeling circuit" that exists in the frontal lobe. (probably having a counterpart in the parietal lobe. Your "empathy training" only works because there exists a circuit tuned for learning it. The extent to which this circuit needs to be duplicated in an AI depends on the AI's architecture. It also relies uppon a human-like motovational system to make accurate predictions. -- Linux programmers: the only people in the world who know how to make Microsoft programmers look competent. http://users.rcn.com/alangrimes/ ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?[EMAIL PROTECTED]
