You did not address a single specific points I made.

I specifically mean the behavioral capacity of general intelligence

Any image-matching algorithm can be used to generate images. A simple color-matcher can be used to create very impressive things if plugged into a genetic algorithm, but no one claims it's conscious or intelligent. None of what you wrote here points out some fundamental differences between this and other image-generating techniques used before. You're simply trivializing what it means to be conscious or intelligent to the point that word is no longer useful.

I will consider an AI to be "generic" when it is able to apply training from one domain to an entirely different domain without any manual "mapping" from humans. For example, being able to decently play checkers after learning chess and being given a description of checker's rules. Applying training in image domain to image domain with tons of manual tweaking might be interesting and useful, but it's hardly qualifies as "mind-blowing".

Want to butt in to this discussion, and post this link here for anybody who hasn't seen/heard about this amazing development from a while ago: http://robohub.org/artificial-general-intelligence-that-play...
