A couple of distinctions that I think would be really helpful for this discussion . . . .
There is a profound difference between learning to play chess legally and learning to play chess well. There is an equally profound difference between discovering how to play chess well and being taught to play chess well. Personally, I think that a minimal AGI should be able to be taught to play chess reasonably well (i.e. about how well an average human would play after being taught the rules and playing a reasonable number of games with hints/pointers/tutoring provided) at about the same rate as a human when given the same assistance as that human. Given that grandmasters don't learn solely from chess-only examples without help or without analogies and strategies from other domains, I don't see why an AGI should be forced to operate under those constraints. Being taught is much faster and easier than discovering on your own. Translating an analogy or transferring a strategy from another domain is much faster than discovering something new or developing something from scratch. Why are we crippling our AGI in the name of simplicity? (And Go is obviously the same) ------------------------------------------- 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=117534816-b15a34 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
