Re: How much intelligence?

Thanks for the replies, they're much appreciated and quite welcome.

What's missing is an exhaustive understanding of natural language. If
you consider something like English it's unlikely there is any kind of
exact understanding of the mechanics involved. It's possible to piece
together some semantics and grammar but nothing like a whole picture.

If this is true, then how do infants acquire natural language abilities
as they do? They have no knowledge of this when they are born, and this
is all learned by patterns or input and also a form of punishment and
reward. What do you think?
