Mike,
Your comments are irresponsible. Many problems of AGI have been solved.
If you disagree with that, specify exactly what you mean by a "problem of
AGI", and let us list them.
1.General Problem Solving and Learning (independently learning/solving
problem in, a new domain)
2.Conceptualisation [Invariant Representation] - forming concept of Madonna
which can embrace rich variety of different faces/photos of her
3.Visual Object Recognition
4.Aural "Object" Recognition [dunno proper term here - being able to
recognize same melody played in any form]
5.Analogy
6.Metaphor
7.Creativity
8.Narrative Visualisation - being able to imagine and create a visual
scenario ( a movie) [just made this problem up - but it's a good one]
[By all means let's identify some more unsolved problems BTW..]
I think Ben & I more or less agreed that if he had really solved 1) - if his
pet could really independently learn to play hide-and-seek after having been
taught to fetch, it would constitute a major breakthrough, worthy of
announcement to the world. And you can be sure it would be provoking a great
deal of discussion.
As for your "discoveries,"fine, have all the self-confidence you want, but
they have had neither public recognition nor, as I understand, publication
or identification. Nor do you have a working machine. And if you're going to
claim anyone in AI, like Hofstadter, has solved 5 or 6...puh-lease.
I don't think any reasonable person in AI or AGI will claim any of these
have been solved. They may want to claim their method has promise, but not
that it has actually solved any of them.
Which of the above, or any problem of AGI, period, do you claim to have been
solved?
