No, in my comment about Artificial General Dumbtelligence I was taking a
swipe at attempts to do AI research and development using techniques
that ignore learning mechanisms, the grounding problem and the role of a
complex systems disconnect between local and global. A little quibble I
have with [what is now called] conventional AI, that's all.
