Ben, 1) CYC --- I don't see why do you consider CYC intelligent application. From my point of view CYC in on the same level of intelligence as MS Word. Well, probably MS Word is even more intelligent. At least MS Word works and produce nice and intelligent results (not super-intelligent though).
Does CYC have any practical use at all? 2) What is SOAR and why do you consider it intelligent? 3) Novamente doesn't work --- please, correct me if my information is outdated. 4) Chess programs don't have general intelligence for sure. You may claim that chess programs have very narrow and very specialized intelligence at the best. Google definitely has general intelligence. Very wide. Not very deep though. 5) Google has very strong reflective capabilities. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004-49,GGLD:en&q=google Monday, March 14, 2005, 6:35:35 AM, you wrote: > Cyc, SOAR and Novamente are all closer to strong AI than Google, > since they can carry out a greater variety of intelligence-like > functions. > > According to my understanding, Google is not significantly more > of a strong AI than "Virtual Kasparov chess" for the Gameboy > advance....
