Hmmm.... I am pretty strongly skeptical of intelligence tests that do not measure the actual functionality of an AI system, but rather measure the theoretical capability of the structures or processes or data inside the system... The only useful way I know how to define intelligence is **functionally**, in terms of what a system can actually do ... A 2 year old cannot get itself to pay attention to predicting language for more than a few minutes, so in a functional sense, it is a much stupider language predictor than gzip ... 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=114414975-3c8e69 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
