Stu Kauffman wrote a book saying X, therefore we're supposed to believe X is true??? He certainly did not convincingly demonstrate in any of his books or papers that AGI cannot deal with creativity in the same sense that humans can... These discussions get **so** tiresome... I am soon going to stop participating in threads of this nature... ben g ------------------------------------------- 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=114414975-3c8e69 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
