The consciouness paradox
CS writes:
Again, you're arguing from incredulity and expecting others to prove to you that it could happen. Again, I'd suggest you'd read the the wiki page on A.I. and come back with the specific problems you see.
A computer is a machine; a program. Programs are written by humans using human
intelligence. A machine will always be a machine, doesn't matter how sophisticated the
program is.
The US Defense spends more on “Game Play” than the Australian government makes!
Still their program is basically useless because it can't predict human behavior.
Eliza, the psychologist program developed in the 70's reduced it's programmer to tears when he tested it out. A couple of hundred lines of code. The machine didn't decide to be a shoulder to cry on, it was the result of the unique ability of the humans to reflect. Something that only humans possess.
Artificial intelligence is exactly that; artificial.
