But even if a computer needs, for example, electricity, does it really want it the same way we do need oxygen?
If we don't breathe, there's an unconscious impulse to do so, and we know that not breathing leads to death, which for us is pretty much the end of the road. None of those points are valid for a machine, since they don't have a subconscious mind and if they're off they can always be turned back on again.
- hutzlibu 9y agoYeah well, what is conscience? As far as I know, there is no clear answer yet. And therefore impossible to say, if AI can reach it as well. So we only have guessing, where I would say it could achieve, but probably not very soon. Faking it will come much sooner ...
- emptybits 9y agoAn unconscious impulse may be the product of evolution. The early air-breathers who didn't have that unconscious impulse would have died off. So given the opportunity for AI to evolve itself, it's plausible that it would do so, resulting in advantageous impulses. e.g. regular (unconscious) behaviour or signals to convince its humans to not pull its plug mid-cycle (information would be lost, painful, time-and-power wasting, etc.).
