lol.. i'll have a look under transcript & inner life, you meanie

Is anyone going to chat with me?

Hear is one for you all. Do you think robots should be alowed to become intelegant? Would that not be like playing got, messing with powers that where not ment to be messed with?

They may become intelligent. But it depends on what we give them. What is intelligence when you can only talk?
If you gave an intelligent robot access to a physical body or weapon. Thats different.

Thought that one would get ya thinkking. Well I belive that robots should be alowd to become intelegant. If they go homasidal that could only be out foults.

any1 here play mmorpgs, mmogs, muds...

Intelligence in a bot will probably never reach the complexity of our human brains and their processing speeds and reactions and everything, but with all the incredible increases in technology and memory, it is getting closer.

In order to program a bot to be the equal of a human brain, we will have to understand the human brain in its entirety and I am not so sure that today's average programmer is the one to do that.

Though it is true that people have been fooled into believing that Eliza is a real person....

But then that brings up the question, when is real real? is a bot real when it is believable?

The robotic sentience question is purely academic at this point. A more relevant question along the same lines would be the issue of human cloning.

I think when a bot has reached the development when he actually responds like a human (whether sane or crazed) he has reached the "real" status.
