Parking this here until it can be used:

Ten years ago, Hayes published the "Second naive physics manifesto" (Hayes, 1985b). Hayes proposed that we "put away childish things by building large-scale formalisations," beginning with "our knowledge of the everyday physical world." He, and others, have since put a lot of effort into developing models of our common sense understanding of the physical world.



But common sense has been a big problem for artificial intelligence, and despite the attempts of many brave souls (e.g. Hayes, McCarthy, McDermott, and Lenat) it hasn't really yielded: "the common sense knowledge problem has blocked all progress in theoretical artificial intelligence" (Dreyfus & Dreyfus, 1988).

Good parking! A perfect example of the high-strung provocative style of the AI+Philosophy debate. It might be usable first when there's an article context describing the ongoing AI/Cognitive Science/Philosophy enflamed debate full of sarcasms and badly masked emotionalisms, based on a race for acquiring the research funds. Some readers will simply be offended if it occurs without a context. Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 13:07, 2 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Belong to Commonsense knowledge base? edit

The articles Commonsense reasoning and Commonsense knowledge base seems to contain tightly connected thingies. Shouldn't the articles perhaps be merged for a while, till the article text becomes larger? Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 13:07, 2 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

@Rursus and others, I opened a discussion here. Rolf H Nelson (talk) 06:05, 17 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
