"Douglas Hofstadter's Copycat cognitive model will be the basis of sentient AI. That is why the guy who used it to write a solver for Bongard problems took it down, fearing it's infinite power." ------- Full Paragraph 1 of Original Post regarding "What is your favourite cognitive model?" by "Anonymous" 2014-05-08 03:56
(1). All assertions are by definition baseless and your assertion of the non-fantasy possibility of "sentient AI." is a most baseless one.
(2). This cognitive model is what it is and that is an interesting mind-toy (not cognitive-toy ;) ). It has no possibility in the fantasy-possibility of the making of the fantasy of *simulating the human mind* a reality. This is due to many reasons that I may or may not explain later depending on your response.
(3). I think you are in fact seeing what isn't really there in the actions of the "guy" who most likely was playing a little joke or took it down for a technical reason. "infinite power"? Surely you're jesting.
