The program is trying to solve a problem, you didn't assign the<br>problem, it's a sub problem that the program realizes it must solve before<br>it solves a problem you did assign it. In thinking about this problem it
<br>comes to junction, its investigations could go down path A or path B. Which<br>path will be more productive? You can not tell it, you don't know the<br>problem existed, you can't even tell it what criteria to use to make a
<br>decision because you could not possibly understand the first thing about it<br>because your brain is just too small. The AI is going to have to use its own<br>judgment to decide what path to take, a judgment that it developed itself,
<br>and if the AI is to be a successful machine that judgment is going to be<br>right more often than wrong. To put it another way, the AI picked one path<br>over the other because one path seemed more interesting, more fun, more
<br>beautiful, than the other.</blockquote><div><br>OK, but where does that judgement come from? <br></div><br></div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Stathis Papaioannou
