That would surely be very bad at solving problems in a wide range of environments.
For any agent, I can create a GLUT that solves problems just as well (provided the vast computing resources necessary to store it), by just duplicating that agent's actions in all of its possible states.
Surely its performance would be appalling on most problems - vastly inferior to a genuinely intellligent agent implemented with the same hardware technology - and so it will fail to solve many of the problems with time constraints. The idea of a GLUT seems highly impractical. However, if you really think that it would be a good way to construct an intelligent machine, go right ahead.
I agree. That's the point of the original comment- that "efficient use of resources" is as much a factor in our concept of intelligence as is "cross-domain problem-solving ability". A GLUT could have the latter, but not the former, attribute.
"Cross-domain problem-solving ability" implicitly includes the idea that some types of problem may involve resource constraints. The issue is whether that point needs further explicit emphasis - in an informal definition of intelligence.
