Artificial Intelligence

What are your thoughts on artificial intelligence?
Should it be designed after the image of humans?
If so, what characteristics should we implement, and what characteristics should we leave out?
Would you be able to distinguish free-will from programming when talking to one?
Who's to say we aren't programmed by nature, and the only difference between us and a machine with artificial intelligence is our composition?
What benefits would we gain from creating AI?
What precautions should we take?
Should we handicap them and test them before giving them limbs?
Why am I asking so many questions?
Why should anyone take anything Light has to say on "general" threads seriously?

The Turing test is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. Alan Turing proposed that a human evaluator would judge natural language conversations between a human and a machine that is designed to generate human-like responses.

Why not lol. But at the moment the human mind has far more processing power than a computer.
I suppose one precaution is to not make it capable of being self aware...

First i would define AI. simulating human brain function is not necessarily the same thing as AI and it’s such a complicated subject that without clearly defined parameters you have no place to start.

in terms of linear computation, that texas instruments whatever from the 80’s blows away the human brain, but creating an algorithm that simulates consciousness is another story.

if you did want to simulate human brain function you would need a shit-ton of computational power and current super computers aren’t even close to simulating billions of neurons with trillions of synaptic links, but quantum computing has some interesting stats.

and finally, Light has started a successful free-bike business (only available to black people) and can’t be bothered.

why not, it would be fun seeing how the "curse of flesh" is either real or not.

If so, what characteristics should we implement, and what characteristics should we leave out?

how about over-protection since that's what most mech monster movies usually point out.

Would you be able to distinguish free-will from programming when talking to one?

simi yes, simi no. depends if it responds to authority/hierarchy.

Who's to say we aren't programmed by nature, and the only difference between us and a machine with artificial intelligence is our composition?

oil, batteries, and electricity is what makes machines work; without them it's to the scrapyard.

What precautions should we take?

how about make more laws than those three main laws of robotics. since those robopocalypses prove that every time they air on blue-ray/dvd/vhs.

Should we handicap them and test them before giving them limbs?

i think most of them under the head scientific minds currently are doing just that, just not those toy ones that you see in every robot magazine.

Why am I asking so many questions?

... are you IBM Watson?

Be nice to your computer so when our robot overlords become self aware they keep you around as a pet instead of killing you.

For anyone interested in this subject i suggest reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Singularity_Is_Near by Ray Kurzweil(Kurzweil was referred to as "the ultimate thinking machine" by Forbes[SUP][8][/SUP] and as a "restless genius"[SUP][7][/SUP] by The Wall Street Journal. PBS included Kurzweil as one of 16 "revolutionaries who made America"[SUP][9][/SUP] along with other inventors of the past two centuries. Inc. magazine ranked him #8 among the "most fascinating" entrepreneurs in the United States and called him "Edison's rightful heir".[SUP][10])[/SUP].

It's pretty heavy on the information side so you'd have to be a serious nerd to even understand what he's saying.

Perhaps we already have AI...
QuAIL was already mentioned here.

Because his moral views on matters are most important

Totally relevant to the conversation.
