Hi, I don't think that trying to "overfit" one's AGI system to some specific set of tests is a really useful approach.
Also, I don't think that intelligence tests, as currently formulated for psychometric testing purposes, form a very natural set of "developmental milestones" for an AGI system. I think it would be possible to create a narrow AI system that passed a lot of IQ tests but still lacked general intelligence -- just as one can create narrow AI systems to play chess, checkers, and so forth. Psychometric tests are only moderately meaningful in the human-intelligence context for which they were devised; applying them beyond the human domain weakens their meaning even further... I don't think it's a boundlessly dumb approach or anything; but it's not an approach I would particularly recommend... -- Ben -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Shane Sent: Friday, September 17, 2004 10:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [agi] Psychometric AI Hi Ben, You think it's a silly approach because...?
