I'd like to find a place on the internet to exchange ideas with people about AI, but I have studied it such an extensive level that it is difficult to find anyone. The only things that I can stand to spend my time reading are actual academic publications. But those are a one-way street where one posts and another reads. There is no EXCHANGE of ideas.

Does anyone have some good links to AI discussion forums? I have speant hours googling to no avail. I am not interested in the SingInst. And the comp.ai.* newsgroups have all been overrun by trolls and grad students "calling for all papers" for seminars on campuses that are hundreds of miles away from me.

Thanks for your help

Check out the Computational Intelligence Society of the IEEE:

http://www.ieee-cis.org/

They don't have online discussion, but you might find a workshop or tutorial at one of their conferences.

Thanks for the link.
