You're making a false equivalence between a human being with agency and intelligence, and a machine.

- rhubarbtree 9mo agoAre humans not machines?
- sarchertech 9mo agoThat’s something that more than half of humans would disagree with (exact numbers vary but most polls show that more than 75% of people globally believe that humans have a soul or spirit). But ignoring that, if humans are machines, they are sufficiently advanced machines that we have only a very modest understanding of and no way to replicate. Our understanding of ourselves is so limited that we might as well be magic.
- jatari 9mo ago>if humans are machines, they are sufficiently advanced machines that we have only a very modest understanding of and no way to replicate Well, ignoring the whole literal replication thing humans do.
- sarchertech 9mo agoObviously by replicate I meant building a synthetic human.
- rhubarbtree 9mo agoSo good we're magic. So bad we think we're magic.
- slopinthebag 8mo agoObviously not? Like how is that a serious question...
