"""Sorry to get off on a rant. A "body" has shit all nothing to do with "making a better AI".""" So you're saying Rodney Brooks's (previously head of AI at MIT) behavioural ai is wrong. Also, without 'sensory' data from a 'body' machine learning approaches can't work either. """Eventually we will get to a point where we can test an entity for consciousness. Once we can scientifically describe how consciousness works, we can devise tests for neuronal networks of any complexity to say if its actually conscious or not """ Are you sure there is such a thing as conciousness? Even if there is, I'd bet we get to AI before we can test for conciousness.
