Sorry, but graphics and figures are simply not language. There are no lexicons. They don't have grammars, and aren't recursive or composable. Maybe they can be informationally complete, but they are simply a completely different sort of thing. I would hesitate to say such a program would be doomed, but the special nature of language is a very critical point. Of course, I also hold that language itself cannot be the fundamental way information is handled in a generally intelligent system, even if a great deal of useful work can be done with straight manipulation of it. I guess it may be unfair for me to say that something like that would not be intelligent at all. GOFAI is real intelligence. It's just its own kind, and surprisingly limited. andi ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
