" Obviously, there isn't yet a computer that can behave like a human. However - all of the above items CAN be done. Lets go through the list: * very general mental capability I would argue that human capability is not "very general", but that rather we have a lucky combination of special skills that has allowed us to advance way beyond normal animal lifestyles. I would further argue that many AI techniques have widespread applications, thus making them "very general". * ability to reason computers can do analogical reasoning, case-based reasoning, deductive reasoning, genetic-algorithm reasoning, rules-based reasoning, neural reasoning, mathematical reasoning, game-theory reasoning and abductive reasoning - to name but a few. * plan Computers can do route planning, and are an essential tool in modern project planning. They can do numerous other types of planning as well. * solve problems See "ability to reason" above. Oh - and they solve chess problems as well :) * think abstractly Computers think more abstractly about chess than any human ever will. They don't even get to see the REAL chess board! * Comprehend complex ideas This equates to having expert knowledge on a subject - which computers clearly can have * learn quickly/from experience Many types of AI system can do that, including Genetic Algorithms and Neural Networks There. That's dealt with that list. -g >Regards, > Terry
