DPRG mailing list archives: [DPRG] Walking/Talking Robots with Superhuman AI-NLP by 2029?

Fri Jan 5 23:27:54 CST 2007

Children also learn to talk at age 1-2 years. How many time/place/person scenarios does a 2 year-old encounter? List them.
What are the tables of norms for what Toddler Robot might say in these scenarios? Then proceed year by year or month by month as required until all the tables of norms are generated. Look-up tables will do just fine to give TR human equivalency if the machine connected to it has the speed and power of an adult human brain. Kurzweil said on Glenn Beck last night that this would happen by 2029.

But TR with such a computer could learn faster than a human toddler. It could learn as fast as the lookup tables can be installed. Of course they have to be available. How long would it take APA to generate these tables? Are the 22 years between now and 2029 enough? 

Next, in what ways will the AI and NL abilities of such TRs be superior to those of humans?
