If we had that, I suspect lots of people would say "ah, well, that's just a clever bit of programming - it's not really thinking/feeling/alive/conscious/whatever, so I'd hardly call that good AI".
Also I'd bet the body helps - if you had a 'cloud' (not android) version of Data, people would be even harder to convince.
- bduerst 12y agoI've had those same discussions. The entertainment industry has set a pretty strange standard for A.I. with the general public. What A.I. will eventually become will probably be wildly different than a limited personification like Data in Star Trek. The first automobiles looked like horse-drawn carriages, so maybe it's not right to fault people for expecting A.I. to look like humans.
