Agreed. But I would then confidently conclude that we were on the steep part of the curve toward AGI, and that the challenge of creating intelligence had been met. This would be a difficult AGI test that is also clear and simple to administer. Much more telling than the Turing imitation game test I think. Hmmm, here is another test idea: given a $10,000 budget, conceive and execute a plan for a web-based software services business that will legally return $30,000 profit within a year. Closer to a true AGI test? Later . . . Kevin C. ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?[EMAIL PROTECTED]
