codemaster, I'm afraid your post is flawed in many ways.
Firstly, I highly doubt that EmLoDnAoR is attempting to write a script that he could have intellectual conversation with. There are thousands of AI bots out there, and while they may not run off neural networks nor be the BEST AI that's out there, they still exist.
Without these Sub-AI projects helping new minds wrap around new ideas which builds new pathways to help them gain an interest in the field later on in life... Artificial Intelligence wouldn't have made it as far as it has today. Just because Legos and Lincoln Logs and Constructs and of course the Erector Set, doesn't come anything close to the real deal... doesn't mean we should dismiss the idea that they're educational, if not simply FUN.
Also to tell EmLoDnAoR that if he wanted to start on AI, he wouldn't make any success or break new ground for a minimum of 40 years... is like telling Einstein not to bother with physics because people with better grades in math have spent a lifetime, so it would cost him his lifetime to simply match them.
Let me regress into 4y/o mode. [deleted by moderator as you KNEW i would]
EmLoDnAoR, please, waste your time on this. I'd like to hear of your success in 40 years, or maybe 20 or 10.
