[quote name="Senor Barborito MetaFilter Post"]I was one of Bringsjord's students at the Minds & Machines lab from '98-'00 - Brutus sounds like it's come an awfully long way in the intervening years. The stuff it used to churn out was pointless, barely-English manglings of text. I still disagree with Bringsjord's fundamental approach, of course - even if I can't blame him for it owing to his being a logician first and foremost - humans simply do not think via logical propositions and there is no working model for intelligence thusly based. Our only working model of intelligence is neural in nature - and thus the only AI approach with guaranteed eventual success in this kind of endeavour is one that attempts to artificially model that which we already know works - the human brain. posted by Ryvar at 10:38 AM PST on November 22 [/quote]
