It's not random, its pseudo-random. Those are not the same thing.

You could choose to use a truly random hardware random number generator, and it would make zero difference to the system, empirically or philosophically.

  I don't believe there is such a digital generator but if there were it would make the massive difference of being unpredictable (because there would be irrational numbers impossible to fully simulate ahead of time) from the perspective of all of its creators, which would then beg the question of who made its decisions, which would spark debate about its autonomy, which would then qualify it as intelligent as per the definition you requested earlier.

    This is literally the first result if you google for "hardware random number generator". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_random_number_generator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_random_number_generat... Autonomous doesn't mean what you think it does. You can google for that too. You may have a point though ... your responses do seem truly random, and that is certainly making me question your intelligence.

    And if you google "unicorn" you will get this wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicorn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicorn Sadly, having a wikipedia article does not mean something actually exists.

        you are falling for the most basic marketing tricks in the book. just because something calls itself "trueRNG" does not mean it is. there's no possibility of those devices outputting an irrational number.

        Did you google for irrational RNG ?
        mike741 3y ago
        finite state machines can't process irrational numbers. there's nothing we can google that will change that.

        yep. no hard feelings.
