Matthias: AGI must be able to discover regularities of all kind in all domains. If you can find a single domain where your AGI fails, it is no AGI.
General Intelligence is the ability to cross over from one domain into *another* - to a) independently learn new, additional domains and b) to make *new* connections between domains (as in analogy, metaphor, creativity etc. ) . (Another way of describing this is "general adaptivity.") General Intelligence is about discovering IRREGULAR connections. It has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with regularities or single domains.There is nothing regular about any analogy or metaphor or creative discovery or example of resourcefulness - for example, seeing an atom as a solar system, or a heart as a pump, or a benzene molecule as a snake, or indeed seeing a chess-piece as a "castle" or a "king/queen," or a chessboard as a battlefield. There is no regular/logical/mathematical connection involved whatsoever - such connections are the ANTITHESIS of creativity and general intelligence, which demand *rule-breaking* not rule-following. Creating an AGI is a *creative* challenge - in talking about chess, you seem hellbent on avoiding that challenge - and avoiding discussing it..I think we need a term for such behaviour which characterises the vast majority of people in AGI - they are "creatively challenged." P.S. Perhaps it would be helpful if we compiled a booklist on the subject of *fear of creativity*. The first one I think of offhand is "Conceptual Blockbusting." You might also look at De Bono and his use of the word Po to overcome such fears. Anyone think of any more? ------------------------------------------- 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=117534816-b15a34 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
