    will we ever see a time when AI will become reality. What benefits could the human race get from it. I still believe that in the end we will just have to connect a brain into a circuit....hmmmmmm

    Those are the two possible answers to that question. Pick the one you like and chances are 50/50 that you're right.

    Absolutely but it won't be from something we completely design. Much of the design will be done by machines that 'self-evolve'. The end design will be far too complex for us to completely understand how it works. The machine will determine that we are just parasites and try to eliminate us from the Earth. We will darken the skies to starve them from their only power source. Human beings will then be grown and harvested like crops for our bodies to be used as heat sources in power generating plants.

    I ask you what it means for something to possess 'artificial intelligence.' If you say something along the lines of 'the ability to behave intelligently', well then we've had AI, in some form or other, for quite a while. It seems to me that when people say "AI", they have this vision in their heads of what Hollywood has claimed AI to be, which isn't what it is. Hollywood seems to think that 'intelligence' implies 'consciousness', which machines simply don't possess, and which I think they never will (nor can they) possess. I think anyone who strives for that Hollywood standard is on a wild goose chase. Then again, lots of other things that people said were "impossible" have come about, so who knows.

    Question

    Why can't machines have consciousness? Theoretically we can use a quantum computer to simulate the universe. So it is possible to build a quantum computer to completely simulate a human brain. Does such quantum computer has consciousness?

    Like I said, things that people used to say were impossible have come about, so I don't want to say that's never ever ever going to happen (though it may have sounded that way in my earlier post), but I don't think that we as human beings really even know what it means to be conscious, you could use some canonical definition of that word, but that doesn't really say how to devise a conscious being.

    Why can't a machine have consciousness? A human brain is NOTHING MORE than a very very complex set of interconnecting neurons + chemicals to transfer outside and internal stimulus to the neurons. Now, take a computer that builds itself like the brain, spontaneously making new connections and building different data paths. How would this be any different from a human brain? It wouldn't. Yes, we're a VERY long time away from this kind of thing, but it is destined to happen.

    People said a lot of things are impossible, yet they have come to pass. All it takes is one man who designs something revolutionary.

    Just look at my quote in my sig.

    That was from Stephen Hawking. I have to say I won't disagree with him.

    Machines will force people out of work long before they can think for themselves.

    It's already happening. How long before a machine can make a McDonalds burger, better and quicker than some persopn at minimum wage?

    Wow, I have just read through a tiny bit (relatively) of that discussion following the paper, and I have to say that is pretty intense stuff. It can defintely kill time. That is definitely something that I would have to set out about 5 hours for to actually read and think about. Nice link.
