[OT] How is AI implemented
Martin Marcher

Hi,
I know it's not a trivial field but I had some readings about
artificial intelligence lately and my personal conclusion is that it's
mostly just statistics.
Naively explained:
continiously gather and store information and apply a default rating
1) answer "questions" with gathered information according to rating
2) store/calculate rating based upon input (be it an interface or user input)
3) goto 1 (sorry for the goto)
So I think that in general there hasn't yet been any artificial
intelligence programmed (Note: I believe I'm aware of the difference
between artificial intelligence and artificial conscusiness where the
second would be able to answer things like: "How are you today" and
the first can answer factual knowledge)
Am I thinking right here or is there some (preferrably) web reading
available on that or in depth links about the topic?
thanks and sorry for OT posting
martin

Some readings:

http://www.sciencedaily.com/news/computers_math/artificial_int...
http://www...
http://dir.yahoo.com/Science/computer_science/artificial_int...
Fuzzy Logic usually crops up as a related topic:

http://www.austinlinks....
I'm not involved in this field, but I think saying that AI is just
statistics is a pretty sweeping statement. It's more like super
complicated stats using algorithms worthy of Calculus with branch
logic thrown in for good measure.
How's that for a load of buzz words!?
Hope those links give you lots of info. Let us know when you've got a
cool talking Python program!

What you want to do is look up the difference between weak AI and
strong AI.
Everything we have to this day is weak AI, and there is still a debate
between
various scientists as to whether strong AI is even possible. Be sure
to look
at Chinese room argument to see if strong AI is really what you need.
