Deaf from birth only or all?
Ok, excuse me, but my computer's sound card can also process pictures
(raw binary information), although the results are usually not very
useful. Ok, then I'll give you an example where you can: On another NG I
have been discussing the use of the modem when linking it over to a
sound card, well, for storing any information on audio media.
By my theory, a brain that just happens to be well known for it's
parallel processing sends the input information trough all it's circuits
and then learns what output makes no connection with the environment and
then excludes those circuits and vice-versa (it can replug them, since
humans are known to forget things also).
What's the problem making the AI then?
