No. Because when you "lessen" AI, you're just creating an expert system. Kat, you are so much more intelligent than an expert system it's incredible. Your brain is such a powerhouse of computing, I doubt we'll ever reach that level. Now, the Matrix makes me wonder... hehehe. <cough> When I think AI, I don't consider IQ. Intelligence is distinct from knowledge. Of course, at what IQ is a person considered intelligent? Get a machine to that IQ, let it pass the Turing Test, and you've got fake intelligence. Real intelligence, however, is going to require much more and far greater than what we've got today. > > Besides, there is no intelligence without sentience, and we > > will NEVER develop something that is sentient. > > At least not without a method to execute dynamic strings or files > at runtime. This would be so that the machine could... what? Create new thoughts and act on them? A sort of, "That knowledge doesn't exist in my brain, so what could/can/should I do with it?" > After all, if the sum of you was what you were programmed with in > school, > you'd be worthless! Exactly. You can put all the "data" I know into a neural net, but will it ever be able to deal with "unexpected" situations? In some cases, yes, like when you have a dentistry expert system. But ask it how to make a grilled cheese sandwich and... well... there ya go. > This lends itself to being self aware. But I would be highly suspect for you to claim that your program was self aware. It is faking it, trust me. ;) > It can do things i did not write code for. Unlikely.

Can you not do this, Kat? or somebody else here on the list? I've mentioned the Turing test a few times already in this thread. Kat, can Tiggr respond like a human in the chat channel? Would she pass for a human intelligence? Of what age? -ck
