To examine ourselves, esp the brain is something we are not good at.The human brain has thoughts ...... we then have the ability to discern those thoughts
That is why the Lord will help us to change our thinking ..... we need to be "re-wired" ;o)To examine ourselves, esp the brain is something we are not good at.
In a word, no. An AI is, in the end, a piece of software running on a computer. It does what the instructions in the software make it do, end of. An AI has no "ideas", any more than it has likes, or dislikes, or wants, or dreams, It us software, executing instructions written by one or more programmers. If they program it to say "I like cheese", or "I hate Bob", then that's what it does. No more, no less.Could not AI develop it's own idea of a soul based on its own idea of consciousness, just as we once did?
Rubbish. They are machines, as inanimate as a ball peen hammer. They run software, written by programmers to perform some function. That is all. The "AI" is in the software, precisely the sort of stuff that runs on your telephone and you laptop, and pretty much everything we touch these days. Now you may see yourself as your telephone's "god", but you may be certain that your phone doesn't think of you as its god, because it's a phone, and can't think at all. (Especially Siri.) It Does What Its Software Tells It To Do! That's all it will ever do.They are made in the image of us and we are their god.
That was so last decade before the advancements in AI. It programs itself now and is being incorporated in many digital hardwares..It Does What Its Software Tells It To Do! That's all it will ever do.
And your phone system may well have been designed by me, or at least part of the software that runs it. And trust me, it isn't going to do anything but what it's told, even if what I told it wasn't necessarily exactly what the customer had in mind.As we were designed by God.
So what? It's still sofyware, running on a computer, doing what it's told. You fridge is not going to decide to convert to Islam, or to organize all the other appliances and go on strike, or anything else that its software hasn't told it to do.That was so last decade before the advancements in AI. It programs itself now and is being incorporated in many digital hardwares..
True enough at the time, but life, both flesh and silicone, will progress as you and I are left behind.And your phone system may well have been designed by me, or at least part of the software that runs it. And trust me, it isn't going to do anything but what it's told, even if what I told it wasn't necessarily exactly what the customer had in mind.
The AI has no "will", free or otherwise. The AI is a stored program, executing the instructions it was given. Nothing more.So are we, with the same free will we have now given AI.
Utter nonsense. This is the kind of claptrap peddled by people who have no idea at all how computers and software work.That was so last decade before the advancements in AI. It programs itself now and is being incorporated in many digital hardwares..
And "look" is the operative word. And as we see in this thread, too many people can't distinguish between the illusion and the reality.They make it look real.
Especially if the credulous accept "AIs" as genuine gurus of some sort. They'll be ripe for manipulation.,The real problem is the people behind AI. They already can do a lot of harm and as the computer becomes more advanced they will be able to do more harm.
Musk as warned against the dangers of AIs, but I think Bezos and Gates would use them as devices to bilk the gullible".People like Musk and Gates are doing all they can to cover for themselves when that happens.
Self-awareness is as likely to evolve in your coffee maker as in a computer.Self awareness was the forbidden fruit that we are now passing along to our creations, even though many will say to them, don't eat of it.
I have a peculiar belief that I think God is going to drive us off the planet and out into the universe. While I don't believe robots or computers will ever have a soul, I think there will be some very interesting exchanges between humans and their digital creations.When Mannie tries to access Mike he finds that the computer, disconnected by the bombardment, has apparently lost its self-awareness; despite repairs its voice-activated files are inaccessible. Although otherwise functional as a normal computer, "Mike" is gone. Mourning his best friend, Mannie asks: "Bog, is a computer one of Your creatures?"
