Quote:: pv+usenet@pobox.com (Paul Vader) : The latter part is certainly true, but the Searle's Chinese room was : actually intelligent. Google has no such pretensions. * Well... It seems to me that Searle used the Chinese room example as an intuition pump to demonstrate that the room did NOT understand, and was a sort of zombie in that regard. No. Searles Chinese room was, and is, intellectual misdirection. Ponit the first: God-damm silly way to build an AI. Point the second the trick Searle uses is to stick a known intelligent entity in the system (the guy looking things up) and then prove that that entity has no understanding what-so-ever of the outside world. This is simply a distraction. It doesn't actually prove that the system as a whole isn't intelligent. Not saying it is mind you, but we /are/ talking about a lookup-table larger than the bloody universe here. Which brings us back to the first point. The thing Searle actually managed to demonstrate was that it will almost certainly be easier to build true AI than it will be to fake it. "All" you have to achive in order to build true AI is to design software that has reasonable odds of dealing wisely with new situations. (Remember. It doesn't have to be perfect at this. Humans are not.) If you want to fake it you have to predict in advance every single eventuallity it might encounter. Which is impossible. |
