I want to talk about practicalities of making an AGI: a chatbot that can reason like a human does. For example, what about Winograd schemas? These are rather difficult it-anaphor or they-anaphor resolution problems. (“The soldiers fired at the protesters and we saw several of them fall.” What does “them” point to? The soldiers, or the protesers?) Are there any tricks to solving them, or do we really have to put World Knowledge into our chatbots? (OK, that’s philosophy too, I grant you!)
Or how about “Could you use a lobster as a weapon?” – how could you solve ANY “Could you use an X as a Y?” question? Surely, WK (World Knowledge) is needed here… but is this an “AI complete” problem (meaning that you really do need an AGI, with full WK, and full human-strength reasoning abilities) or not? (I suspect that it IS AI-complete.) I’d like this particular chatbot talking-shop to be all about AGI aspects of chatbots/conversational agents.
