Matt: How are you going to understand the issues behind programming a
computer for human intelligence if you have never programmed a computer?
Matt,
We simply have a big difference of opinion. I'm saying there is no way a
computer [or agent, period] can understand language if it can't basically
identify/*see* (and sense) the real objects - (and therefore doesn't know
what) - it's talking about. Hence people say when they understand at last -
"ah now I see.." "now I see what you're talking about.." "now I get the
picture."
The issue of what faculties are needed to understand language (and be
intelligent) is not, *in the first instance,* a matter of programming. I
suggest you may have been v. uncharacteristically short in this exchange,
because you may not like the starkness of the message. It is stark, but I
believe it's the truth.
