Should we worry about sentient AI?

[BidenPresident]

That is your opinion.

If you or anyone else can demonstrate that an AI can be self aware, then I will concede. Otherwise, it's moot.

What does self aware mean?

[AProudLefty]

I don't buy into the emergence thesis. The universe itself in intelligent.

I know of that theory. It's certainly possible.

[AProudLefty]

What does self aware mean?

You are aware of yourself and that you are here in your body. Otherwise there'd be nobody home in your body.

It all comes down to personal identity.

AI Robot says, I know I am here.

AI Robot says, I know I am here.

Yes. So does a Furby.

[BidenPresident]

Yes. So does a Furby.

Good, problem solved.

[AProudLefty]

Good, problem solved.

Yes it is solved. There's nobody home in a Furby.

[BidenPresident]

Yes it is solved. There's nobody home in a Furby.

I do not know what "nobody home" means.

I do not know what "nobody home" means.

Hmm. Hard to explain. A robot with advanced AI might seem a real person to you, but is it really a real person? That is exactly why Alan Turing devised a test.

You asked if we should worry about sentient AI and I said yes. It is not a real person like you and me. That's the reason why Issac Asimov devised three rules.

We far surpassed the imitation game. Of course machines can think. And I did not ask you if we should worry, that is from the article. I have no worries about it.

I disagree. We haven't surpassed the imitation game. I used to play chess games against computers all the time. They can "think". But that's just the programming doing the "thinking". The heuristic approach. The programs have no emotions, no feelings, no nothing.

As Kasparov said, a chess computer does the same thing a human player does, only faster.

In "thinking", yes. Heuristic methods are common in P vs NP problems.

[BidenPresident]

I don't know what P and NP is.
