John,

It still seems decidedly odd to me to call AIXI intelligent. For similar
reasons, I wouldn't call a program that generates all possible strings of
characters, sometimes randomly producing a literary masterpiece, artistic or
creative.


I don't understand your argument.  Generating all possible strings is "easy"
in theory,
the hard part is to decide which of these strings is a masterpiece and which
is not.
If you could give me a formal equation for deciding whether something was a
masterpiece
of literature, I would be very impressed.

Shane
