I feel that simple embodiment is the most likely route to enable an AGI to learn human language well enough to read complex texts, including those in scientific and engineering domains. This is really the main point. I don't think that statistical corpus analysis nor hand-engineering of linguistic rule-bases is going to make systems that can really understand language. But I think that systematic instruction of a simply-embodied AGI system can get us there, even without all the bells and whistles of a truly humanlike body. > > > -- I see that simple embodiment is not anywhere near enough > to put human social contact into the reach of direct experience. > Embodiment will help AGI understand "chair" and "table"; > it will not help it understand vindictiveness, slander. > True ben g ------------------------------------------- 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
