Okay guys, I''m going to stick my moderator hat on and step in here...

This is a public forum and while we may not all agree with the way in which others express themselves, they do have a right to express themselves as they see fit. This goes both ways, so don''t think I''m talking about any one person, or any one mode of communication, in particular.

Thus, there is no need to argue among one another as to the merits of a particular style of grammar and style. If this continues, I''ll be forced to close this thread, which would be a real shame because it''d be the first non-spam thread in AI that I can recall being closed in my time at GD.net.

Cheers,

Timkin

Here''s an AI, and I can create it in less than 10 seconds.

if (coinflip==heads) {
turnRight();
} else {
turnLeft();
}

I''d really like to see the implementation of your coinflip function for an un-biased coin please!?

Ok - let''s take another example. Place a hungry newborn baby on the mother and it will automatically crawl to the breasts. Now how did it know that there was gonna be food there ??

It didn''t. A reflex made it go there. Some reflexes must be hard coded, otherwise animals and humans would be born without brains. However that doesn''t mean they can deduce things.

I think you''ve had your head in the rinse cycle too long fup! Come up for some air!

Heh, one can easily see this forum heading to wackoland.

Just a reminder folks, we''re here to discuss AI, not the almighty =) BTW fup, I''m having a very hard time visualizing your trinket.

Here''s an interesting coinflip function

// function uses AI to some degree or another...
coinflip ()
{
// begin obfuscated code

#define N 624
#define M 397
int i;static unsigned long mt[N];static int mti=N+1;for(i=0;i=seed&0xffff0000;seed=69069*seed+1;mt|=(seed&0xffff0000)>>16;seed=69069*seed+1;}mti=N;unsigned long y;static unsigned long mag01[2]={0x0,0x9908b0df};int kk;if(mti>=N){if(mti==N+1){};for(kk=0;kk<N-M;kk++){y=(mt[kk]&0x80000000)|(mt[kk+1]&0x7fffffff);mt[kk]=mt[kk+M]^(y>>1)^mag01[y&0x1];}for(;kk<N-1;kk++){y=(mt[kk]&0x80000000)|(mt[kk+1]&0x7fffffff);mt[kk]=mt[kk+(M-N)]^(y>>1)^mag01[y&0x1];}y=(mt[N-1]&0x80000000)|(mt[0]&0x7fffffff);mt[N-1]=mt[M-1]^(y>>1)^mag01[y&0x1];mti=0;}y=mt[mti++];y^=y>>11;y^=y<<7&0x9d2c5680;y^=y>>15&0xefc60000;y^=y>>18;y<N*M?return(0):return(1);<br><br>// end obfuscated code<br>} </i>

heh, seems like these forums can''t take a little obfuscation!! The remaining few lines have been cut off =\

PS: AI exists, don''t h8

Please use the code tag in future and format your code. I don't want to see lines that extend beyond the screen again. It reaks havoc with some browsers and is a pain to try and read.

The output is a biased coin toss...

... and what's the superfluous 'if' statement for?

What is attempting to be described is not artificial intelligence, but computer sentience; at this level of competence the term ''artificial'' is no longer applicable. It is no longer a mock thinking device, but an actual being.
