Wouldn't an intelligent computer know to use tools? The core of the point being discussed seems to be why do you need to ask it to make it you inventory software when an intelligent system would know that when asked to build an inventory system setting up a database and logging all the information is need and ask agents to do that.

It's the same question that you might have asked in 1920. "This radio hardly works at all. Can't they do something about all the static? I don't see the big deal. This is just a scam to sell batteries and tubes."

[ToucanLoucan]

A radio isn't intelligent and isn't marketed as such. If you're going to sell software you call intelligent, I don't think I'm out of pocket for saying "this feels even dumber than regular software I use."

I don't find this comparison fitting.

[CamperBob2]

(Shrug) Well, I do. I don't know where you people get the idea that these sorts of things spring forth fully-formed from the brow of Zeus, but it doesn't work that way.

This your first paradigm shift? :-P

[roommin]

A radio is fundamentally do thing the thing it claims. Artificial intelligence is fundamentally not intelligent.

I'm not saying it is useless tech, but no it's not my first paradigm shift, and that's why I can see the difference.

How'd you do at the International Math Olympiad this year?

[roommin]

You seem to bring much more snark than substance.
