You can take that artificial brain and run it at twice the speed, hook it up to the internet, reset it when it goes insane, etc. A lot of mad scientist options

- the_af 10y agoMaybe, but I'm not entirely convinced. If it's blind duplication, what have you learned from it? How would you know how to reset it or speed it up, if you don't understand how it works? We don't know how to reset human brains. Also, blindly duplicating a human brain would raise serious ethical implications, especially if you intend to perform experiments on it. If it's clearly an appliance which only superficially resembles a human brain, I don't see the problem. If it was created blindly, and you're unsure how much it differs from a child's brain, would you cut it open, hook it to the internet or reset it at will?
- kamaal 10y agoAny duplicated human brain to which you can provide even the most basic sensory inputs like pain, is equivalent to torturing a real human.. I don't think these sort of experiments should be allowed.
