Conscious robots?

Recommended Posts

They'll evolve once you infuse them with artificial intelligence.

 

Get out of the Debate Forum. Artificial intelligence doesn't evolve on any sort of standard' date=' even then, even [i']if it could,[/i] natural evolution takes millions of years.

 

What I'm saying is that no matter how you look at this, you're wrong.

 

The fact that Robots can't evolve makes you wrong.

 

The fact that even if Robots could evolve, evolution would occur at a point in time that our race has already been brought to it's knees by other means, be it an Ice Age or whatever.

 

Besides that, I'll also point out that A.I technology is so underdeveloped it isn't funny.

 

I understand some people's dreams are to live forever (I know I would)' date=' and some will do anything to cheat death, but this is wrong.

 

After death, your conscious is forever in a state of eternal rest. [b']It is not for us to decide to wake that conscious back up.[/b]

 

Some people feel they have lived a good life and see no need to go on any further. As Tabris said, you want to make a procedure for this, do it only for the volunteers

 

With the right tecnolagy, it is our right.

 

what is this i dont even

 

Also, I believe that because we have the technology to split atoms, we should make it our right to do so upon millions of innocent people.

 

I mean, hey, we do have the right to, as we have the right technology.

 

Basically, Albus, shut up. Seriously.

 

no it's not. The final decision still rests with the deceased

 

The deceased has no consciousness. It's merely a shell of a being. How can anything of a deciding nature rest with it?

 

Yeah. What you said was just inane. =].

 

The right to a dead body rests with the ones that claim it.

 

Basically, the family of the deceased.

well no one said AI is going to be that advanced anytime soon. But eventually it will reach that point. What then?

 

Fallout 3' date=' Terminator and I Robot aren't credible sources of information. Nor will they be 4 posts from now. They're designed to be entertaining, not freaking informative. [i']Obviously[/i]. However, by the time that A.I has reached a point of actual human replication, which I currently think is improbable, our race would've entered into it's 'reflux' state.

 

As in, the natural ice-age cycle would've mostly wiped us out.

 

=\.

 

all you have to do is look at the terminator' date=' matrix, and I, Robot movies. Yes, we're nowhere NEAR that point of development in AI, but those films will give you a clue

[/quote']

 

Those films don't give you sheet. I actually haven't seen the Matrix, but I can vouch that the Terminator and I, Robot aren't anything of a truthful nature.

 

Really, I, Robot was so botched together with subliminal advertising that any stand-point it could've made on Artificial intelligence was flawed. Even then, any A.I in that movie is so unrealistic in comparison to what's currently in development is still isn't funny.

 

Terminator, a freaking 1990's sci-fi action film, doesn't mean anything either. Also, the Terminator wasn't even based upon Artificial Intelligence. The concept of the robot in that movie was to be a mobile weapon. Even then, that movie featured time-travel. What, are you going to say that Time-Travel is possible because about 4 movies have been made around it?

 

Please. Get a resourceful stand-point, and then try debating again.

You brought up the A.I all the same though. Back peddling because your argument has become invalid is rather low.

 

That, and you don't need to freaking remind me of the original topic. I'm pretty confident I addressed it two posts ago, until you started going "But blah blah rebellion is possible blah A.I blah blah *Random movie with it featured.*"

 

As for the original topic, the fertilization and maintenance of the brain would be rather.. Interesting to accomplish, but it's still all the same. I merely cannot see something like this going ahead, on a both logical and possible scale.

 

=\.

I know for many it's a dream to live past your original life span' date=' but I can't help but wonder if that'll just end up becoming a curse, watching all your loved ones die and you survive (not to mention in a robotic body which means you can't feel anything anymore)

[/quote']

 

That's were I'm extremely curious. Would memory, curiosity and all other humane elements remain? How could a human brain perceive and function without the proper senses? And so on.

 

I have no doubt that a conscious robot is no immortal state, though, as the brain would presumably die out eventually, as organs age all the same.

 

I guess where I don't see this as possible is the fact that it would presumably involve quite a lot of Artificial intelligence; or how so much of it is so psychologically unknown.

 

=\.

Oh, wow, this is the first non-mainstream debate I've seen here.

 

And even then, like most topics, this comes down to choice. It should be a person's decision to be a cyborg or not. Honestly though, if you could add a voice box to a human cyborg, it would be interesting to see what they say/if they remember their past life.

 

It reminds me of Burst Angel…
