Artificial Intelligence now Sentient?

[bloodandgutsmurphy]

"proved" or "theorized"?

EDIT: They were theorems, which are just accepted as fact based on other known unproven facts. So in all honesty like thousands of theorems of the past it can still be disproven in time if enough things changed.

The majority of the scientific community accepted his conclusions that an oracle will always needed. I would call his work a scientific law

"Proof" of anything having to do with AI/computers from the 1920's is very much irrelevant now.

Math is timeless

What's the difference between being truly sentient and being able to mimic human behavior really well?

I would say free will

 

[HoughMade]

I would say free will

...but how could you tell?

Is choosing between 2 things free will or simply execution of a program that calls for random decision between 2 choices when the two are close enough that there is not a clearly "better" choice?

If you want to convince me a machine is sentient, I'm going to have to see it ignore all logical and reasonable information and consciously make a horrible choice based solely upon the spatial parameters of the gluteal and/or mammary areas.

We teach the AI what busses are. Apples are. Bicycles are. Ect everyone we do a captiva prove your not a robot proof.

We teach Siri and Alexa every time we speak to them.

Maybe the unibomber was correct.

And scientific laws have been broken since time began.

As fast as computers operate, if one became sentient, it would have already exterminated us.

Wait, wait, hear me out...

What if there IS a sentient AI in the cloud, but the way it was programmed it developed a troll personality, and instead of exterminating us outright, it decided to play with us all first. Everything we're seeing in our world right now that seems so crazy and unbelievable, between politicians wantonly and openly destroying our nation and all the insanity being pushed in our media and academia, is the result of this AI having figured out how to rig our elections, our media platforms, and our school systems, and now it's just messing with us.

Think about it. It all makes sense now!

Wait, wrong thread?

Haha maybe but our knowledge, our perception, changes.
Do you believe that everything that is to be discovered has already been discovered?
Do you believe the earth is flat?
I’ve had enough of “trust the science”, or more correctly, trust the scientists.

Using our current political overlords as an example, I'd say not much.

I often wonder the same when I talk with "progressives".
