I agree. This has become a three ring circuit, I'm getting board.

I for one look forward to decent AI being available on the planet.

Humanity is stupid enough and we need something intelligent in the world.

I would also like to take this opportunity to declare my loyalty to our future computer overlords.

As impressive as IBM's achievement was, Deep Blue was just a computer doing computer shit, lots of switches in an on/off state. Was the machine actually playing chess or was it selecting from an enormous pool of options? I don't know. If that's what artificial intelligence is, then fine, ok.
Now artificial consciousness or self awareness is something very different, and we are nowhere near creating such a machine. Praise be.

Well considering that Deep Blue simply beat Kasparov by being faster and more accurate at evaluating a large but finite and very well defined set of moves, and not through any application of intelligence, your first sentence doesn't hold up.
You are indeed correct. I humbly accept the rebuke. [Image: smile.gif]
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
