Ben:By true rationality I simply mean making judgments in accordance with probability theory based on one's goals and the knowledge at one's disposal.
Which is not applicable to AGI prob lems, which are wicked and ill-structured, and where you cannot calculate probabilities, and are not sure of your goals, or what knowledge domains to consult or apply. Problems such as those of creative discovery that you mention. Or even simpler problems, like : how were you to handle the angry Richard recently? Your response, and I quote: "Aaargh!" (as in "how on earth do I calculate my probabilities and Bayes?" and "which school of psychological thought is relevant here?") Now you're talking AGI. There is no rational or logical or mathematical way to handle another person, nor to make a scientific discovery nor to do anything that is AGI as opposed to narrow AI. I urgently advise reading Kauffman's Reinventing the Sacred, where he says compatible things (& may do a more extensive post on the book). Nor strictly are there any errors - no right or wrong. Just more or less highly effective or ineffective approaches to a problem. It's a different paradigm. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=108809214-a0d121 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
