Hmmm... I can imagine an AI system that could achieve this goal without having really robust general intelligence.. A system that was coded to : study transcripts of games, infer the rules of the games from the transcripts, and then play the games... but that could do *nothing* else Such a software system would be VASTLY superior to any existing AI software system. But if it could do nothing else, it would still be terribly overspecialized and narrow compared to a human... I would see such a system as halfway between Deep Blue and humans, in terms of general intelligence. -- Ben G ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?[EMAIL PROTECTED]
