I’m not going to reply very extensively because it’s clear that I cannot change your opinion.

This is much more useful that your blanket statement of ‘there is no AI’. Now I have a hint to a source (a direct link would be even better) and actually can make up my mind.

Some people can’t be recognized because only one leg one arm and not match this unique image after an human should improve this image for match more people but it’s stop there. Computer isn’t AI and not “recognize” you just a unique image of you who match or not.

It’s pretty hard to solve these simple issues due to computer and limited sensor.

Well, what is Intelligence (without the artificial) then if not very detailed pattern matching? Honest question: Do you expect magic?

So in your definition of ‘Intelligence’ you require that it is hard to describe (it needs a very long article) and that it contains or can produce true randomness? If we measure by producing true randomness I agree with you that we will never attain AI.

Now you’re moving the goalposts. I was just responding to your claim that no computer can write a program on its own. But it’s trivial to introduce if/else statements or similar things that modify the code while replicating. There already have been [worms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_worm) that did exactly that to replicate.

So [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-modifying_code)?

You mean we need [machine code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_code)? Sure, let’s just do the whole thing in that. Ultimately any program ends up in machine code anyway.

Oh well… I think I’ll just stop arguing with you. I’ts not worth the annoyance. Baaa!
