I think it'd be hard to make incremental progress on the Phoenix Test before the AI has AGI-complete understanding of natural language and the environment. That is, like the Turing Test, it serves as a propositional test for completion but not an incremental test for progress.
Agreed... I wouldn't advocate it as an incremental test for progress. I don't think there are any good, general incremental tests for progress toward AGI. There are just too many different potentially viable approaches, with qualitatively different development arcs. ben g ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=231415&user_secret=fabd7936
