Even a simple common narrow ANN does not use a language to generate it's 'intelligence', yes the program is written in a language but the calculations/ processing are generated by a process/ schema... not the language.
Human languages are just a common communication protocol, there is no intelligence engrained within language. There are thousands of human languages all with differing syntax and structures, yet they all serve the same purpose. If there was any kind of 'intelligence' wrapped up in these languages they would have a commonality that reflected the underlying logical/ processes... they don't. I suppose it depends on the type of system you are trying to create. A system based on the processing/ understanding of language is only ever going to be a mimic, it will appear to understand by mimicking the patterns/ syntax found in said language, a chatbot is a good example. IMO it's the underlying engine, the intelligent process that is capable of learning and using our many languages that is the goal of AGI. Language is a crude protocol at best… describe the colour blue to a blind person… it can’t be done… language is not the seat of human intelligence. :) ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T4f01e8a4b34d0e2a-Mc3dd1b5ac89a07d71e91b4dc Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
