don't they have the technology to make this, or something simular, in real life though?...what's goin on, where are all the androids futurists of the 50's promised us
No they don't. They're having difficulty making robots that can even be as intelligent as an insect. They're nowhere near simulating human-level intelligence.
hmm..guess i have to brush up on my a.i. development research....i thought by now w/like, nano-circuitry & the increasingly smaller sizes of computer chips & stuff they'd be able to make a "brain" ...
haha, i never said EQUAL..but.the computer in itself is a modern marvel of technology, think about it, the machine you're sitting in front of right now, 50 years ago, it would take a 20x20 room to conatain it..& now, they have computers that can fit in your pocket...i know they'll never be able to make an artificial equal to humans - that's imposible..even if they could make a machine that could accomplish half the tasks a human could(they'd never be able to do that), how could one impart consciousnes to it?..it'd still be nothing more than inanimate objects interacting w/eachother to form computations...so...long story short, i agree w/you, lol
Interesting question, but then again how do we have consciousness? After all, we are nothing more than extremely sophisticated computers. There is no separate "soul" that makes us conscious.
yeah, biological computers...if likened to a robot, i guess we're an extremely complex combination of inanimate objects(minerals, nutrients, etc.) making chemical reactions to form life..and if it were to stop there, we'd be nothing more than animals - but our consciousness is modled after god's - him making us in his image & all....so..voila...there's your difference
But our consciousness must be purely a consequence of our physical makeup, since there is nowhere else it could come from. That's actually one of the things I find so amazing. Somehow God invented a way of modelling a consciousness similar to his own using only materials from the physical universe.
yeah..that is an amazing thought..but..he made all the laws that govern our physical universe, so, bending it to meet his wants is really nothing to him...like...he invented time-space, and the matter that courses through it...things are only the way they are cause me made them that way...so, any enigma, or seemingly impossible notion(such as him being able to synthesize a higher consciousness, through phyiscal matter)is nothing more than childs play to him
