But all these concepts should have something in common with chairs, enough for us to determine its usage and function and be able to decide it *is* a chair.
Now if it was a all of a broken, toy, paper chair with a spike in the middle it would be understandable if it was not recognizable as a chair. In the image he provided, one of the chairs was a yellow soft thing that had 20 or so arm things coming out of it.... I for one, would not have recognized that as a chair in a room unless I had seen someone use it. The AGI should be able to model many chair as descriptions, and it should be able to know what a chairs usage is for, given those bits, and interaction in a real environment, it could figure out what the odd looking thing in the corner is by watching others use it for example. _______________________________________ James Ratcliff - http://falazar.com Looking for something... --- On Tue, 8/5/08, YKY (Yan King Yin) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: YKY (Yan King Yin) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [agi] Groundless (AND fuzzy) reasoning - in one To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 1:35 PM On 8/6/08, Abram Demski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There is one common feature to all chairs: They are for the purpose of > sitting on.

It is possible to recognize chairs that cannot be sat on -- for example, a broken chair, a miniature chair, a toy chair, a paper chair, a chair with a long sharp spike on the seat, etc. =) YKY ------------------------------------------- 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/?&; Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.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
