Could it ever come to understanding all it's own causes and effects? Or maybe all of everything's causes an effects, and then make a different choice, etc?

And if it truly doesn't care anything at all about any of this at all, then I would have to greatly question if we ever even made it truly conscious to begin with, etc, but just only created a monster with just only machine thinking, or machine learning only, etc. Because I think that would be the much more dangerous alternative, or the much more dangerous choice I would think, etc.

God Bless.

Without it being able to feel, or know, or understand, or truly know pain, I don't think anything like any kind of compassion or empathy would ever become an emergent trait, which is the much more dangerous alternative if you ask me, and I also think any being has to have it, or have both, in order to truly be called a truly conscious, or truly thinking for itself being, if we are still thinking for ourselves even then, assuming, etc.

God Bless.

AI has been used to translate brain waves into information in this case Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall".

"We dont need no education". Perfect for reinforcement-learning AI.

Next up, Hendrix: "Are you experienced?"
I put your comment "We dont need no education. Perfect for reinforcement-learning AI" to the test.
Whether GPT-3 got the joke or not is subject to interpretation.

Interesting. I'm almost tempted to say it "overthinks" the joke.

Norm MacDonald once commented on smart people overthinking a joke. I'd love to post it but it's buried somewhere in his hours of podcasts and likely unsearchable. Bottom line, overthinking a joke is the same as not "getting" a joke.

Garbage in, garbage out. Software is still software, and all the old rules still apply. Trying to anthropomorphize software by talking about "hallucinations" is rubbish

No,because it doesn't "understand"anything. it's software, and it does what it's told to do.

And if it truly doesn't care anything at all about any of this at all
Oh, it "cares"precisely as much as your refrigerator, oi
r maybe a bit less.

It's software running on a computer, end of.

, then I would have to greatly question if we ever even made it truly conscious to begin with
Easy answer, it isn't "conscious". It's software running on a computer, and it does what it's written to do, neither more nor less.

What makes us any different?

What is the permutation or calculation process that goes on on the inside of us that causes us to question, or understand, or feel, or choose, or think, etc, or do anything that do, or feel, or cause, or think, etc?

Are we really all that different, etc?

Because if we are, I most certainly don't see it. Not with most of us anyway, etc.

I only see the causes for these things almost everywhere I look, etc. With most other people everywhere I look most especially, etc.

You don't think a computer brain could reach that level of sophistication?

Or perhaps go beyond it, etc?

God Bless.

Our experiences is what shapes most of that with most of us, and all of those are caused, etc, and all of those, going way, way back, etc.

If a computer brain could somehow be made so it could have similar experiences, then could it not rise to the same level of quote/unquote "consciousness" as well, etc?

In order to make a true choice, we have to go way, way beyond our own experiences, and the history of our own experiences, etc.

And I don't know if any of us are really truly capable of that, etc.

It's certainly not what I see when I look around at almost everybody else anyway, etc.

I see all of this, and all of us, as something akin to a "program", etc. And a program that goes way, way back, etc. An almost infinite, but completely traceable/knowable/predictable, string of causes and effects only, etc. Those going all the way, way way back, etc. And I sometimes wonder if that's all this is, and is all that the rest of us are, etc.

Anyway, what if a computer brain could consider this, etc?

What might happen to it then, etc?

Do you think it would ever be capable of such a thing?

Truly considering any of this I mean, etc?

And beyond that maybe searching it out or seeking it out possibly, etc?

Think it would ever be capable of such a thing, etc?

Or would it only be able to do that only if it was programmed to?

But beyond that would not ever mean anything to it personally, etc?
.
God Bless.

I know some people are going to scream at the top of their lungs "I CHOSE THIS!"

But, did you, and did you really, etc?

Because that's not what I see with most of you, etc.

And I've thought a lot about this in relation to myself also, etc.

And I don't think I chose any of this, but I was very much determined/predestined into believing in God, and the Bible, and Jesus Christ, etc.

Don't think I chose the path of my life and how any of that was/is going to go either, etc, which brought me to a faith belief in God, the Bible, and Jesus Christ, etc.

Similarly, I don't think any of you who do not right now believe ever chose it either, but it was all by determined/predetermined design, etc.

God Bless.

Yes, God does all the saving.

I think of it as like a Parent and a toddler -- the toddler doesn't accomplish a lot on their own....it's because they hold the parents hand they can even walk across the street safely...

But we are to move our legs when the Parent directs us.

So, this is all cooperative.

We are hear to learn and grow, 'For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.'

Those who would give up proceeding to do or choose anything just because from a certain perspective, we don't do or choose any of it, etc, is just like a toddler throwing a fit over something that is most usually involved with them not getting their own way, or getting what they want.

We have no choice but to do/go/proceed as if we are doing these things, or are having these things, etc.

God Bless.

Perhaps you mean what I'd word as "We aren't to follow our own way, but instead we are to follow Christ, and His Way." It's definitely a Way He has created for us to follow, not our own way.... But we are to listen to His words and hear and do as He said, to follow Him.

The unbeliever or non-believer will probably say to me "Well, if God has already decided that I'll never be one of those who ever believes or is saved, then how can I change it, or why should I even try, etc?"

And I would say to them that "It is because none of us has any clue at all what our future decisions are going to be, even if God already does, etc, therefore we don't know if you're going to continue to be one of those who is not ever saved or not, even if God already does, and did a long, long time ago already, or has already decided that for us, etc."

So it would be foolish for us to proceed as if we know, when we don't know, etc.

The fact that God does is a mute point, etc.

God Bless.

even if God already does, and did a long, long time ago already, or has already decided that for us, etc."
Well, of course, that double predestination type view (which itself is not needed in order to tell the good news, the gospel) will cause more than just 1 essential objection from non believers (and from many believers there will be one also, such as because it seems to doom some before they are born, contrary to how scripture presents choices to us).

As you know, Christians have a variety of views on God's knowing of us, about our futures, with a lot of detailed pieces even in some viewpoints.

If you are interested in my view, I listen to the way God's providence is expressed in Isaiah 46 NIV --

"What I have said, that I will bring about;
what I have planned, that I will do.


As Christ our Lord said later when He came to Earth:
"“My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.”
