The AI Mind can not play chess because the AI is still very primitive and is still growing its ability to engage in self-referential thought. Language translation will be possible in mentifex-class AI minds by virtue of the fact that each AI Mind is capable of being programmed with both an English lexical array and, say, a German lexical array. Then thinking in the deep Psi concept array will be expressed in either English or German, or both during translation and interpreting. What looks like a "word association toy" is indeed machine intelligence and has already spawned http://AIMind-i.com as a branch in the evolution of machine minds.

It cannot learn, for one thing. And you couldn't use it to execute even well-understood AI tasks such as chess playing or language translation.
