using dictionary,encyclopedia,media inputs, and user interface combined with a simple yes/no program to teach a computer to read and understand communication? it sounds way easy, but i know its not. but isnt it possible to teach it parts of speach and sentence structure, to learn and store info with existing slightly modified paths of operation. using parameters to get to yes/no,solved/unsolved, pat on the back/kick in the tail,etc.
could it operate and with a few quirks, could you drive it crazy? how long would it take? and could it be taught to implement its own functions,resembling simple free will.
it sounds like it be a real kick to see a machine grow.
voice recognition already exist, so how hard would it be to convert parts of speach to command.if it were easy, then the dictionary,encyclopedia,media,etc,anything and everything would feed to its resources,or simple artificial mind.just wondered.

ok i do have kids. and yes the accent is why, and personality quirks etc.
now the computing process or chain would be simple, it would be either +,-,or no logical answer, wich would send the task to the back burner(compression) with a flag for next time. with a priority +or- 1 on the priority list.
how long would it take for the computer to make an illogical decision? you know, if it drew off different event sources,including snipe hunts and jokes, etc.

The problem with current technologies and computers is that programming is linear in nature.
When something happens, the computer goes through a procedure, written in a series of steps that the computer goes through, usually doing some sort of comparison or calculation.
To provide a computer the ability to think like us, an entireley new way of programming must exist, or every possible outcome of every possible situation would have to be programmed. Think somewhere along the lines of billlions of billions of lines of code. And if would have to run through that everytime a decision needed to be made.
So....while not impossible, it is VERY improbable. I would say use that as inspiration to develop an artificial intelligence machine and change the world! ;)

Now that we have the computing power to process speach on the fly, it could be done. There are major obstacles in the way though - one of them being humans
For example lets say we teach the computer English and its teacher comes from New York. The computer will learn english with a New York accent. Now take that computer and send it to LA. It will still work, but it's accuracy will be less because the accent is slightly different. Then send it to Australia. The chance of it working is significantly less, because Australians tend to talk alot faster than Americans, and also emphisize different words. Then fly it to England (the home of the English Language) and it will work much less again because of the same issues.
Programs such as dragon dictate do have functions that can be used to controll the computer now - that is you can say "start calculator" and 9 times out of ten you will get it and not the paint brush starting. Advances in AI technology are allowing simple text conversations from computers now too, and robots from honda and sony are rapidly developing personalities built from logic when they sense a social situation.
Wait 4 years and I think you will see the first 'true' smart machine that can think and respond. Just don't expect it to be too bright.

Yes and as soon as it is rebuilt it will be more potent than it was once earlier than. The reminiscence of having via dangerous instances will likely be aspect of your shared historical past and convey you nearer eventually.

Teaching a computer to talk is "not" easy!
But try this for fun,

why would u want to teach a computer to read and understand communication? u should have a baby and teach them instead. it just sounds wierd what u are trying to do. i think people like u should have kids.
