- I think this raises an interesting point-- if, someday, we do
- truly achieve artificial intelligence, does it necessarily follow
- that it will be able to play chess at grandmaster level? I
- know plenty of intelligent people who can't play chess worth a
- lick. I think it was Hofstadter who once mentioned that a true
- AI program might say "I'm sick of chess, I like Monopoly better."
-
- We could give the AI a chess-playing subprogram inside it,
- but then it would be no better than a human with a chess
- computer helping it!
-
- A lot of people hold the misconception that Artificial Intelligence
- means automatically that we will have Artificial Genius and the
- computers will all "be smarter than us", when in reality, I
- envision some AIs making mistakes and doing some really stupid
- things...simply because they ARE intelligent and not automatons.
-
- Just a thought,
- Jason
