I dont get it, why are you guys addressing this super ai in terms of simple
rule based behavior, i think the rule based expert systems outplayed its
role as godfather to gai a long time ago!
You might as well look upon this "ai" system, as an highly irregular
construct, something(or someone) that seems to survive going by intuition
alone ... like, say, a woman. ;-).
I believe there will always be stuff to process, consider introspection, by
definition of its recursive nature, relations, weights, associations -
whatever an gai will be built upon - will always be in a dynmaic state,
right down to the least significant decimal (if there is a such, problem
alert).
I know boredom is desirable to me(well some times), my very best ideas are
spawned out of boredom..(i realize that what constitutes a good idea is ..
very relative, but i do think i've got some good stuff, some relating
somewhat to this subject as well)
