Well... If you mean that it will be hard to tell a fraud from a genuine AGI system, I guess that may be true. If one has an AGI with its brain on the cloud, it will need a Net connection to think, and it will then require a lot of investigation to verify that its Net connection isn't actually going to some human puppeteer sitting at home impersonating an AGI... But the difficulty of identifying fraud is not specific to AGI, obviously... OTOH, if you mean that it's difficult to tell a really intelligent AGI mind from a complex, multi-component chat system like the one we demonstrated in Xiamen ... I don't think that's true. For a few minutes, a good chatbot can impersonate a smart mind (especially if that few minutes is cherry-picked after the fact!!).... But no chatbot can do that for a few hours... -- Ben G ------------------------------------------- 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
