Yeah Spore is rly annoying bc it's a game, not anything about evolution.
If Spore were evolution you wouldn't even be playing :P

"Natural selection" is used as an analogue. It's not really natural, but it is selection. You can't have any kind of selection (or evolution) without a cost or fitness function. In nature there are sets of probabilities that act as the "fitness function" although not explicitly stated as a "function"

What? lol then we will never achieve human level intelligence!

in spore they dont evolve they made it look like you do but in fact this is far more closer to evolution.

You're talking about something different.
I'm not talking about AI *learning* what you do, and then trying to counter it, I'm talking about AI that uses a randomly mutating genetic algorithm for behavior and then a fitness function to naturally select more successful behavior. This is a significantly different model for AI, and you are right, it is entirely possible, and maybe someone has tried it already.

inthefade-
Err...there are already AI that should be able to do that. In certain games they can temporarily remember moves you do and use them, I'm pretty sure, and if not, it's entirely possible and just hasn't been done yet.

I challenge the claim that Polyworld is pure natural selection with no fitness function.
Virgil mentions that there's a cost function applied to the networks. Obviously, if there is no cost function, then the networks will be filled with a lot of neurons that do nothing, as long as they are being "carried" by a useful neuron.
The problem is the cost function is arbitrary. Unless the cost function is subject to natural selection, this is not purely natural. It is essentially a fitness function.

While interesting, it will not be useful until you can "harvest" parts of the neural network. The visual subsystem would be useful, if it was 3D. However the self preservation that will evolve will just get in the way (I mean in the short term, way before the system rises up in revolt) |
