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.

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?"

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.

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. In fact, you may be way too deep in your own propaganda here. 
;)

Oh, but there is...

Again, because of pre-programmed rules.

This is just an advanced database application. If not, how do you 
differentiate it from such?

Is this what human intelligence does? Are you saying you need better 
hardware? :)

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?
