I didn't say that (human) walking is easy, or that is doesn't involve AI. I said it's different from Natural Language, and *insect* walking is not AI. Remember, there are (several-legged) toys out in the market which can walk, and they don't have AI-- in fact, they have motors, not electronics. Insects have several legs, making it not an issue of AI, but an issue of dynamics (which foot goes first). > The progress in AI is so little that we cant even > model how the brain of a housefly works. That's the point... AI progress is quite slow (hence, my assumption of its difficulty). Again, since we can't model the brain of a housefly, do you think it would be easier to model the brain of a human to do language? But enough of that. > AI is already in linux.
