Travel agent. Better yet, housemaid. I can teach it to become these things because I know how to do them. Early AGIs will be more likely to be successful at these things because they're easier to learn. This is sort of like Orville Wright asking, "If I build a flying machine, what's the first use I'll put it to: 1) Carrying mail. 2) A manned moon landing." ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=101455710-f059c4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
