A.I. Is Not Sentient. Why Do People Say It Is?

[BidenPresident]

Robots can’t think or feel, despite what the researchers who build them want to believe.

I do not agree with this, but the article is worthwhile.

This is a good definition of intelligence, from the article: “The ability to learn — the ability to take in new context and solve something in a new way — is intelligence.”

So they can create bots with equal rights to displace real people.

Its amazing what men can create. I myself long ago created a thermometer that works on mercury. The only problem I ever had with it though was GETTING IT THERE!

There is some tapes of people testing an Ai about all types of human like emotions and feelings


I can’t remember the name of it



But it expresses (the ai) a very human presence


Including things it thinks on its “own time”


And a fear that someone will shut it down


It’s kinda scary sad to listen to it


But it’s just programming

Yup, just programming.

But maybe that is what we are, too.

Can they feel emotions?

Does it hurt when you get shot? The Terminator : I sense injuries. The data could be called "pain."

Hence the human inclination to observe such tests and to ponder what it means to be a living, thinking being


At what point does it matter that we created it and if what we created deserves some kind of rights

A.I. is not sentient - YET.

That's the rub.

A.I. is not sentient - YET.

That's the rub.

What will make it sentient?

It will almost certainly be an improvement of sentience of today.

That's another rub.

A.I., I don't think means the ability to think or to feel, but to learn and to become self-sufficient from your learning experiences. For example, if your A.I. controlled robot fails to see a step and falls, the A.I. should learn the step is there and not make the same mistake again.

Agree. I don't think AI needs to sense the environment the same way humans do.

More advanced technology.

Sentient A.I. is basically inevitable.
