If that’s really the case, then I’d say 2015 you needed to do more reading and thinking about AGI and the nature of intelligence and consciousness. The Chinese Room thought experiment is a good starting point for thinking deeper about what AGI is.

But really, I have trouble grasping how anyone can really think database searching is intelligence. For starters, I’d say the capacity to learn on the fly with relatively poor input data is a necessary condition for intelligence, and you can’t get that with database search.

Like the Turing test, the Chinese Room says more about humans than it does about machines.
