| Re: [ai-94] Stanford's "Ask the Expert" is on AI this month - If we assume any action at a given moment and space is a result of a deterministic function f(a1,a2,......) where we define every possible factor as an input except for free will then it's safe to claim that humans are not responsible of their actions | ibrahim | Apr 11, 2009 |
| RE: [ai-94] Stanford's "Ask the Expert" is on AI this month - I love it when i meet someone as smart or smarter than me. And of course I know they make "mistakes". So what! The rock in my front yard doesnt make mistakes, and i dont carry it around with me in a sholder bag. God i wish the s--t around me was smart. | user 7812120 | Apr 11, 2009 |
| Re: [ai-94] Stanford's "Ask the Expert" is on AI this month - Yes, we do not want them to search on their own. We think of them as calculators, just things to do calculations in a reliable way. As their role has been extended to manipulators of information, we just want them to be reliable storage and transport | andi | Apr 11, 2009 |
| Re: [ai-94] Stanford's "Ask the Expert" is on AI this month - Ibrahim, There is no way for two identical programs with identical inputs to produce different outputs. Anything computable has this property. (computable in the Turing sense, which is incidentally, the only one we know) May I suggest instead | David M | Apr 11, 2009 |
| RE: [ai-94] Stanford's "Ask the Expert" is on AI this month - Said another way, it would be imposible for any two "identical" beings of having identical experience as input, if only because each can not inhabit the same space at once. But i agree david, the world is pleanty complex enough to provide enough of what | user 7812120 | Apr 11, 2009 |
