Matt, What a search engine lacks, to have human-level AGI, is not human erroneousness, but rather human inventiveness...
A search engine is not going to learn to play a newly invented game, nor make up a new game ... nor prove a theorem, nor discover a new kind of astronomical object ... nor, say, figure out a new sex move that is only effective in really humid climates ;-) In short, search is a narrow domain, so that efficiency in search is not really human-generality AGI .. nor anywhere near... -- Ben G On 6/2/07, Matt Mahoney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

There is no economic incentive to duplicate all the human weaknesses needed to pass the Turing test, things like limited memory, slow response time, spelling and grammar mistakes, ignorance, dishonesty, cultural biases, etc. But there is a big incentive to duplicate human strengths, so when you search for "funny videos", it should not have to rely solely on the opinions of others. Or is this also AGI? -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- 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/?&;
