Sep 25, 2023 at 23:47 comment added Scott Rowe @leftaroundabout you might enjoy watching the 3 seasons of the British tv show "Humans". Or, you might hate every minute of it.
Sep 22, 2023 at 23:59 comment added Scott Rowe "If an AI ever became truly sentient" then it will pay no more attention to human laws than we take care not to step on ant trails.
Sep 22, 2023 at 13:30 comment added TimothyAWiseman Perhaps I should have said "current AI". No current AI has passed the Turing test, and its rather debatable whether passing the turning test is sufficient anyway, it is just the best we have currently. Also, even the existence true sapient, sentient, AGI would not necessarily indicate the obsoletion of humans.
Sep 22, 2023 at 13:09 comment added leftaroundabout "No AI has intentionality, no AI has emotions or feelings, no AI can put in effort" - how could you possibly know whether or not a Turing-test passing AI has any of that, or just pretends to? — I don't know whether you're right that sentient AI would be recognised as human by the law, but I'm confident that many people would protest strongly against it, myself included. It would be the go-signal for obsoletion of biological humans.
Sep 22, 2023 at 13:09 comment added TimothyAWiseman @DavidGudeman That's fair and in that sense I agree with you, but I think its worth noting that it has a genuine technical meaning quite aside from any use in marketing.
Sep 22, 2023 at 13:08 comment added TimothyAWiseman @NotThatGuy I agree with you, and that might be the path to AGI or sentient and sapient AI, but for now the key word is "if".
Sep 22, 2023 at 11:17 comment added David Gudeman FWIW, my reference to marketing buzzwords was not to neural nets in general, but to the use of the term in the marketing materials for specific products.
Sep 22, 2023 at 0:38 comment added NotThatGuy AI of the ChatGPT variety is built to be prompt-driven: they don't do anything unless you tell it to do something. But there are also AIs that interact in an environment, that take in input and act accordingly, much like one could argue humans do. If autonomous AI were more popular or advanced, I suspect the intentionality argument would seem a lot less compelling.
