AI Going Nowhere?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the prolog-hackers-unite dept.

jhigh writes "Marvin Minsky, co-founder of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Labratories is displeased with the progress in the development of autonomous intelligent machines. I found this quote more than a little amusing: '"The worst fad has been these stupid little robots," said Minsky. "Graduate students are wasting 3 years of their lives soldering and repairing robots, instead of making them smart. It's really shocking."'"

    No one has ever been able to satisfactorily create/reproduce one.

    My parents had no problem producing a brain; four in fact. Maybe I'll create some myself some day. I could tell you how but I'd need a signed note from your mom :).

    Creating brains isn't hard; creating artificial brains is.
