Matt:> Logic has not solved AGI because logic is a poor model of the way people think.

Neural networks have not solved AGI because you would need about 10^15 bits of memory and 10^16 OPS to simulate a human brain sized network.

Genetic algorithms have not solved AGI because the computational requirements are even worse. You would need 10^36 bits just to model all the world's DNA, and even if you could simulate it in real time, it took 3 billion years to produce human intelligence the first time.

Probabilistic reasoning addresses only one of the many flaws of first order logic as a model of AGI. Reasoning under uncertainty is fine, but you haven't solved learning by induction, reinforcement learning, complex pattern recognition (e.g. vision), and language. If it was just a matter of writing the code, then it would have been done 50 years ago.

Matt,

What then do you see as the way people *do* think? You surprise me, Matt, because both the details of your answer here and your thinking generally strike me as *very* logicomathematical - with lots of emphasis on numbers and compression - yet you seem to be acknowledging here, like Jim, the fundamental deficiencies of the logicomathematical form - and it is indeed only one form - of thinking.
