Hi Valentina, I'm not quite sure what you mean here, but to be on the safe side, did you internalize warnings given in e.g. ( http://www.overcomingbias.com/2008/07/detached-lever.html ), ( Drew McDermott's "Artificial Intelligence Meets Natural Stupidity" ), ( http://www.overcomingbias.com/2007/11/artificial-addi.html )? I tried to describe the physical origins of this disconnect between the shallowness of properties and tags we use to reason about real-world objects and exquisite level of detail in objects themselves in ( http://causalityrelay.wordpress.com/2008/07/06/rules-of-thumb/ ), ( http://causalityrelay.wordpress.com/2008/07/17/flow-of-reality/ ), ( http://causalityrelay.wordpress.com/2008/07/20/precise-answers/ ). My argument wasn't about word-matching per se, but about the high-level characterization of the process of reasoning/perception/recall/problem-solving. You can't paint a word "Intelligence" in big letters and expect it to start doing intelligent things. -- Vladimir Nesov [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://causalityrelay.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=108809214-a0d121 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
