>1. The claim by "zofsilence" that Intel's "Open CV" computer vision software package is AI. That wasn't my claim. Did you read the article that I responded to? Intel's software to enable a new class of AI-like, 'computer-vision' equipment By Mark LaPedus Semiconductor Business News (12/11/01 00:49 a.m. EST) siliconstrategies.com >You folks need to do some reading. You pontificate in this thread about things you know absolutely nothing about. Inexcusable Not everybody "pontificates", as you put it. I admit that I don't know everything. I've never written any AI software. I post here to learn, not to teach. I have no objections to people correcting me. If I didn't want to be corrected, I wouldn't post. -Z

Tim, AI is a much bandied about term, I agree. A true intelligence? is ambiguous, but 'perform like a living system' is probably a better term. AAfter all a frog survives and reacts to preserve it's life and yet cannot see things that are stationary and yet is not intelligent as we see it, yet it endures. Same for the Ant, bee and many other living systems that easily beat the best of our machines in their life tasks. In it's world that is a survival trait. Of course the stork learns to stand very still until it sees the frog make a move...and then it tries to spear the frog within the frogs reaction period. Many living systems, as in CV attempt to process data and changes in data to emulate a predator/prey situation where there is a need to recognize the shape of predator/prey, faces, patterns trextures. I can see this being of value in machine navigation, or pick and place assembly robots etc.. I am getting towards a better understanding of CV, but both Dan, -Z and I could do without the derogation.
