I can't help but honestly feel that tech/AI will always be fundamentally without will/motive, and that all the sci-fi stories about 'uploading consciousness' or sentient tech will never truly be actual conscious entities. We can make them complex, and we can make them act various ways, but their existence will never be meaningful or in any way deserving of civil rights. Maybe that can change in the future, but for now I don't see any indication that it will.
- dd36 6y agoThat’s what cells think about us.
- antepodius 6y agoWhat's the magic about meat that lets it create consciousness, then?
- marzell 6y agoWell that is a very interesting question, isn't it? Certainly I believe we can agree that if you program am application or service to act as though it were conscious, that doesn't actually make it conscious. I believe part of your problem is that we haven't actually defined what consciousness is, exactly.

- marzell 6y agoPrint("I am conscious"); does not equal consciousness.
