quote: Original post by baylor Fourth, i don''t believe intelligence has to be a stimulus-response thing. For example, dreams don''t have sensory inputs. Talking to yourself in your head is the same.This is the part that I disagree with. I think that this can be a matter where the output is both stimulus and response. Output is input so to speak. But it got me thinging. Has this ever been simulated artificially, for example in ANN''s? What would the effect be on an ANN when part of his output is also his input? would it "think"? Could it "think" longer? What if you would apply it on an existing AI like NLP''s? Say you take two NLP''s and have them talk to eachother. What would they talk about? One LNP''s output would be the other''s input. Maybe you would have them start talking, like in the ball experiment from Robbin Williams'' "Awakenings" movie. But where would the discussion go? This would even be more interesting if the two LNP''s aren''t the same. After all, we prefer talking to people that are different (e.i. all other people. You rarely start to talk to yourself al lot).
