That is certainly true! However, my goal is not specifically human-like cognition, but rather cognition of an equal or superior generality and power to that of humans.

To be more precise, we are not considering something as narrow as a "blocks world", though we are considering a simulated world. My strong feeling is that a lot of the concepts learned in a simulation world could be used by an AI in the real world. If this is not the case then clearly the AI is not abstracting enough! For instance, if an AI learns the relationship between "near" and "by" via interacting linguistically with humans in the context of a simulation world, it should be able to generalize this semantic knowledge to real-world situations. > I may start developing a sensory (especially visual) interface > that might be used by other AGI engines, using a webcam.
