IQ Test Pegs ConceptNet 4 AI About As Smart As a 4-Year-Old
An anonymous reader writes "Artificial and natural knowledge researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have IQ-tested one of the best available artificial intelligence systems to see how intelligent it really is. Turns out–it's about as smart as the average 4-year-old. The team put ConceptNet 4, an artificial intelligence system developed at M.I.T., through the verbal portions of the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence Test, a standard IQ assessment for young children. They found ConceptNet 4 has the average IQ of a young child. But unlike most children, the machine's scores were very uneven across different portions of the test." If you'd like to play with the AI system described here, take note of the ConceptNet API documentation, and this Ubuntu-centric installation guide.
Similar to how a typical Slashdot user might score amazingly well on the math section and then never score in real life?
No!
Obligatory, I for one welcome our new four year old mentally unstable electronic overlords.
Sounds like my ex-wife.
Solving Unix problems since 1989...
for a 4 year old i am pretty sure the value of pi is "more" and possibly "with ice cream"
Of course you have to compare it to a child. How else will it ever ascend to becoming a contestant on "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?"
Yup... an apostrophe.
Unfortunately the AI also lied that it had completed its arithmetic assignment so that it could go out to recess early. It is also suspected of taking an extra snack at snack time, and caused a disturbance during nap time.
No you see, by pi he meant the mathematical number - 3.1415... - not pie as in "food". Even so, the value of pie wouldn't be "more" and "with ice cream" - that's not the value of something, those are desires and descriptors of something. Value would be more like how many dollars it's worth or how many good deeds/grades one has to get to receive the pie.
That's how we lost ol' Timmy. Asked him to give us a few digits of that good ol' pi and he just durn went and hung himself right in the ol' barn. We stopped teachin' the young'uns maths after that lil' incident.
Damn it, I'm not even good at slashdot reading - I score bad at math and don't get laid! :(
so five then?
Not that it matters, but your XO emoticon means "hug and kiss" in straight culture.
