Wife's.

Wives', if you're Mormon, but then it would likely be birthdays.

If I don't remember her birthday, I'll get slugged.

I don't want to get slugged.

Therefore, I'll remember her birthday.

Sounds pretty logical (Aristotelean) to me!

 

Sorry Mr. Campbell W I F E ' S. There, now I'll remember. Also, I don't think that a computer would comprehend getting slugged, and I *know* that a computer would never understand getting married

Here's a test for AI - develop a spoken and written language.

 

Neither do people. I thought you were trying to make a distinction here!

 

Personally I don't think that a computer game adapting to someone's style of play is a form of AI. All that is happening is that a set of predetermined rules (set out by the programmer) are being used to adapt the game.

For it to be AI, the computer would need to be "learning" from previous experience what to expect from the player and then adapting without the use of preset rules .......

 

So no one is actually debating anything here.

Useful thread.

the question is "do we really want artificial intelligence to exist?"

I'm beginning to wonder if there's anything other than artificial intelligence participating in this thread.
