Artificial What?
I just realized how to better verbalize my approach to AI... listen up all
you AI enthusiasts out there...
You cannot separate True Intelligence(tm) from sentience. And you must
develop sentience first!!! The whole AI industry is trying to develop an AI=
entity backwards by doing the intelligence first, when what we need is,
first, a sentient being.
Here's dictionary.com's definition of intelligence:
in=B7tel=B7li=B7gence ( P ) Pronunciation Key (n-tl-jns)
n.
1. The capacity to acquire and apply knowledge.
The "capacity to acquire..." You cannot acquire what you cannot perceive.
dictionary.com defines sentient thusly:
sen=B7tient adj.
1.. Having sense perception; conscious
2.. Experiencing sensation or feeling.
Intelligence REQUIRES perception... or, better, sentience (perception not
only of one's environment, but of oneself). Basically, there's no such thin=
g
as a stand-alone AI. You can't have an AI being without that entity also
being sentient. It is impossible. You will always have an expert system ONL=
Y
without sentience.
What does this further have to say about AI?
Well, developing AI in a computer is going to be interesting. When
programming this AI brain, you can't count on any of the standard senses,
except maybe vision and hearing. We can't do touch. We can't do smell.
Vision can be done via a camera, and hearing via a microphone. The computer=
can "sense" what I call a "digital data stream." Humans can't (yet).
Then there's the simulation approach... but that is WAY TOO INTENSIVE.
Simulating reality is much more difficult than actually putting the AI
entity into reality and letting it sense reality. I won't even go there for=
now. Reality is already there... why not use it? :)
The hardest thing to give is motivation. How do you motivate the entity?
You've got to give it a reason. The reason we're alive? To experience joy.
That's it. God made us so that we could enjoy a relationship with Him and
with His creation. How will you motivate a sentient entity of your own
making to be nice? to survive (if at all)?
So, develop something that can receive input, give it "instincts" (basic,
but overridable (as it learns), actions to various stimuli) and let it go..=
