- hackinthebochs 13y agoIts not that its just about language, but I do think that a system that could pass the turing test would necessarily be AGI. To put it another way, to fully solve the NLP problem one would have to have created AGI. To pass the turing test a system would need to simulate or acquire the knowledge of an entire life of experiences of a person and be able to convincingly converse about those experiences with an actual person. This would undoubtedly be AGI.
- SeanLuke 13y ago1. I think "AGI" is a ridiculous recent rebranding of "Hard AI" and doesn't represent any meaningful scientific or engineering pursuit. 2. Even if one accepted that NLP is AI-complete: this is a sufficient condition and not a necessary condition. But the claim being made in the articles is that it is a necessary condition: that is, that other AI disciplines are distractions because they do not lead to the AI grail that NLP supposedly leads to. This is classic GOFAI hogwash.
