people have written:
>> Secondly, a human has language because it intends to communicate.
>> Computers have no such intention.
lets *give them* that intention and initiative.
>Bull's eye! That is the fundamental difference.
yes, that's the difference, but it doesn't have to be.
I have a book, here at the crib, that's called
"how to build your own self-programming robot"
i forget who wrote it, great author tho...
in this book, he gives stages of behaviors that need
to be implemented to create a machine that would indeed
pass the turing test(standard test of AI) after it was
allowed to be turned loose for a pretty fair duration.
the first layer of behaviors was quite rudimentary,
but allowed the ability to remember. things like
"im hungry" (need battery recharge) or "im stuck"
(need to attempt escape via random wheel direction
and speed settings until freedom of movement was
regained) and when it found something that
worked it remembered that set of actions and
what the stimulus was that provoked those actions
and this brought you to the next evolutionary layer
of behavior patterns. this next layer was a step higher
in complexity and was tried first given a new stimulus
to see if it could be applied to that stimulus. if none of
the beta level behaviors that were learned by the machine
seemed to apply to the current stimulus, then random
responses inherent in the alpha (base level or primate
instinct level) were then tried and so on...
once several beta level layers had been learned, then the
machine was free to begin gamma level behaviorisms.
gamma level is the real serious level here.....
it allowed the machine to *hypothesize* new responses
that might work for various *unseen* stimuli based upon
all of the available learned beta behaviors.
the equipment to do this...to build this robot/machine
based upon this book is -cheap- but would be very
limited... more mem and a decent processor and this
layering of behaviors could become a potential turing test
passer as well as a damned fine fuzzy logic adapter capable
of real learning, real "desires" (persay) and seemingly more
intelligent than a child for sure...it's current incarnation, as
detailed in the book, puts its eventual "intelligence" around
the level of ohhhhh animals perhaps...and we have all
seen quite astute animals before..no?
food for thought? imagine a gig of ram (cheap) a dual processor
pentiumII(not so cheap, but not that expensive either) and a couple 9
gig HDs (the full text of an entire encyclopedia is what... 650 meg?)
in a mobile platform with this layer of behaviors approach
implemented, along with methods of realtime data gathering
(ultrasonic sensors in a stereoscopic rig for 3-d self mapping, a
force feedback glove/arm ....etc...off the shelf components) with
euphoria sequences handling the storage of those behaviors
.....whew.... could become very serious...
i'd build it myself were it not for time, extreme shortage of
fundage, no place to tinker...etc etc...
if only i didn't have a life :)

I'd never get any coding done at all.
