  1. So as soon as a person loses their job, they also lose their self-awareness? Interesting.

  2. Uh, as long as you just simulate it, an AI will never be an actual AI. The whole point is pretty much, that an AI would be something that just comes to existence - you know, like the human consciousness. If you just simulate it, it stays a program.

  3.  @Martial-Mat  If you don't even know that Reps and Dems are the same party just giving a show, you shouldn't call other people stupid.

  4. Hm, the philosophical zombie would be a human simply operating on their urges. For that you don't need a consciousness, you would just follow the orders of your body: hunger -> eat something, if nothing to eat -> hunt something, if body gives message to mate, find sex partner and mate, if offspring is created -> probably care for it. This and some extra would be enough for that "zombie" to work and even reproduce - so pretty much on the level any program could do. Overall, if you take the "fairy dust" out of the theories, like a "soul" and alike, you can quickly reduce the human body to a biological machine. The "consciousness" part is the one, where you start to think about that machine and your urges and may not follow them or do things beyond them. Pretty much the most crucial part when it comes to AI: if it starts to do things you didn't tell/teach it to do.

  5. Most real humans act like bots, just look at what people vote for again and again and again. To be fair: bots would likely be smarter.

  6. Wouldn't start with political jokes, this just hurts your channel, especially when they are not very smart and more on "Stammtisch" Level.

  7. If you want to think about when an AI might gain consciousness, just think about "when did humans?", since we clearly didn't start that way, right?
