Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence by George Luger
What is intelligence? Is there any artificial intelligence yet? Will there ever be artificial intelligence? Is there even natural intelligence? Am I intelligent? Sometimes you can get wrapped up in those kind of questions. I don't think everyone who reads this would answer all the questions identically. Does that mean some people are wrong? Are those people unintelligent?

G. Roper : "Is there even natural intelligence?"Now that is the crux of the matter! Without defining what we seek, how shall we know when we have found it? And there is, sadly, no widely-accepted operational definition of "intelligence", natural or otherwise.

Motives

Everyone has their motives, people raise their hands and answer questions to get candies. Motivation is the reason why most things get done. But I guess sometimes it hard to figure out what the motives are, let alone whether they are good or bad.

Through someone else's eyes

I don't think anyone will figure out on their own what this photo is. But that doesn't matter because I know, and knowing is half the battle, or so I was taught when I was younger by cartoons. It's kind of hard for me to come to terms with how much has happened since then, since I was what I now consider as "young," check back in twenty years for a post referring to myself as young currently. Anyways, the TV had a dial, VCRs and stereos ate your favorite tapes for lunch, and nothing besides how the answering machine you just took apart worked internally was complicated. Or maybe that's an over simplification of it. But it sure feels that way sometimes.
