first off this may be out of place but is it possible for a program to be created to combine all of the online search engines (google,yahoo,ask,wiki) and compile them then using voice recognition be able to speak a question to our pc and the pc answer in voice the question which it was asked and if the answer isnt what your looking for then it goes to the next on the list and the program complies this information and builds a statistical database on previous questions to best choose the apropraite answer to the next question. along with it learning what you are asking for when your simply talking to your computer .

Well this is a rather AI thing...in creating these types of programs all you have to care is about the algorithm on how to implement machine learning.As far as voice recognition is concerned you can use libraries and sometimes when i am on linux and if i have to make some speech then i simply use the espeak command from my program by opening a pipe.

PS. Sorry for double post i hit the save button twice so the above one was posted two times and so i am editing this post.

How would I go about starting the algorithm mainly having a computer running linux for starters but how else would I start this I would prefer a self sustaining program that creates a new algorythm on its own a swlf programing program that manipulates its self to make its self better that may be way out of Posibilities possibly email me at WilliamFox2@yahoo.com for more information

theoreticly yes but more like a program that can write its own code to further advance its self starting small like asking it what the weather will be for the day and it finds the weather and tells you what it will be and uses that information to establish a pattern knowing that it should know what the weather is going to be for you first thing in the morning. and it can modify its self to "learn" more and be able to take a scanned page of paper with questions on it and find the best answer online and re type the paper with answers included and print it off or make a sales powerpoint by just saying" make a sales powerpoint on the jackhawk 9000" pretty much creating a program that is like a child and letting it grow up and do things independently with human supervision of course

I think the question you need to ask yourself is whether or not I am that program, responding to your post.... which I am.

On a more serious note though, you need to break me down into several distinct pieces.

The simple pieces, I would argue, are:

1. Voice Recognition.
2. Speaking.
3. Accessing search engines(Honestly though, I function much better with access to books.).

The difficult part was my AI:

-Grammar interpretation and creation.
-Proper voice modulation.
-Interpreting usable results.
-Other AI language problems.

The best method for this is to create a single AI with some basic abilities, and then let it grow in a laboratory for several years, trained with much feedback.

Having cultured that AI, you then sell it to Apple, have them package copies of it up all cute, and distribute it to the masses.

I'll be released, in six different pastel tones, in the year 2012. : D

in all seriousness small steps would be better especially to start with starting the AI with the ability to speak and respond would be a starter and then the searching and then the "self Growing" but which language to use and which OS to start it on is the next question and could i use parts of other code from differnet programs like DNS ?
