The question isn't "can" but "should". Should we, assuming we could, create conscious (conscious meaning being self-aware and having the ability to learn) machines? There have been hundreds of books, movies, games - about this issue and all, come to the same conclusion... NO.
- tim333 10y agoI'm not sure they've concluded it's a bad idea, more that the machines and us living happily ever after makes for a dull movie.
- pasquinelli 10y agoright. those books and movies and whatnot express human anxiety about artificial consciousness. whether that anxiety is well-founded is really beside the point.
- AgentME 10y agoCreating consciousness has been a very popular thing for couples to do for many thousands of years!
- Grishnakh 10y agoAnd look what a disaster it is much of the time.
- Grishnakh 10y agoI disagree. We absolutely should create conscious, artificially-intelligent beings, and then hopefully they'll decide we're obsolete and wipe us out. Good riddance.
