(Don't you think a 60%-complete human-level intelligence should be capable of doing SOMETHING somone would pay good money for?) If Cyc, SOAR, or Novamente posses even a fraction of the "variety of intelligence-like functions" that you seem to think they do, then where are their promised killer-apps?   Eugen Leitl wrote: >To my best knowledge (which is not much) Google currently doesn't utilize >any advanced algorithms which could (however tenuously) be termed AI.   If SHRDLU, ELIZA, or any of the various silly little programs Hofstadter has ever written receive the title of "AI", why do you insist on begrudging Google the title?   Paul Fidika [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
