Oooo, this is a good prompt.
Hmmm NOoo Not at all Hahaha
Why do you think that? If a computer gains human intelligence would you consider it alive
You can turn them back on You cant turn people back on Case closed
Well cant you for a short time~ That's what a AED is for isn't it
Yeah but people die and rot Computers can still be used when you turn them off for 2 years Also computers don't have decision centers So they cant reason They also don't have pain sensors that go off when they shut down They don't even know it is happening you know what i mean?
Oooo good point, hmmm Well what if the programmers For whatever sick reason Decided to implement something of the sort With the new AI technology you can technically tell a robot it's doing a bad job and reprimand it with data just like a human Pain is just data our brain interprets as a bad thing
How would you really know it was actually feeling pain
Well how do you know a person is feeling pain
What if the computer was just doing calculations to make it look like it was feeling pain but it wasn't? How do you define pain?
That is a good question Is pain just a chemical signal
Hey I have a question, where did you hear about this website?
Got an email just this afternoon from BYU
Oh really? Why?
Something about training computer algorithms
Oh hahaha Yeah that is the goal
Sounds like they're setting up an advanced neural network Kinda like the hypothetical one we're talking about
What hypothetical one? The one to make the computer feel pain?
A computer of human intelligence yah
Interesting If a computer has human intelligence does that mean it can feel pain? Is that one thing we have to do to achieve humanness?
That provokes the odd question What is human? Aside from the obvious
Well we have souls right?
If we made something that walked, talked, thought, and intersected like a human but it's made of computer bits is it human
Ask it to read a book of holy scripture and pray to know if it is true And see what happens
//laughs Now that would be a cool thing to see
Hahaha That would be an interesting thing to test
A religious robot
It would be interesting if god answered its prayers Yeah
Of human intellgence
Then maybe it could become a priest or a rabbi or something of the likes
A robot priest All the implications of that is just insane
Yeah It makes my brain hurt What if we had more than one life? Like if we died we could resurrect ourselves?
Hmmm
But we could wait and roam the world  as a spirit in the meantime while we waited for the right time to come back
Like with Buddhism stuff? /sorry internets slow That would be quite an intresting idea We can either subject ourselves to life again Or wait
That would be really cool What if we had unlimited lives too?
Would you want to stay a human then
And we could come back in a different form or in our same form
Or play with things a but Bit
And we could just observe quietly in the meantime There would be like millennium old wars always going on
And you could just spectate from this spirit realm, or perhaps as a blade of grass
Maybe Maybe you could come back as a tree and spectate even further
Man that's quite an interesting thought What would you want to come back as Given any choice of living being
As a tree T. rex i mean It autocorrected
xD No worries T.rex dang Dreaming big quick Hmmm, I'd have to choose either a fox or another person
Oh a fox would be really cool
A lot of animals too choose from and unlimited lives to do it
Yeah I would definitely choose to be every one once Every animal Then maybe I would be the president of the United States
Have you'll find a favorite Maybe* President would be fun too dang
Yeah Lots of people would hate you though No matter who you were
I don't think there's anything you could be to which all people would agree/enjoy you
Yeah There will always be someone who disagrees it is just life Everyone has a different view And there may be someone out there who totally disagrees with you and they have valid points for all of their arguments
7 billion different views
Yeah or even more My dog probably has a view on religion and politics She is probably an animal rights activist
xD I'd hope so And trees would be free friendly Green*
Yeah They would be all about saving the environment Are you into vegetarian stuff?
I understand why people do it but I don't quite myself I try to eat healthier etc and more "kind" but I enjoy my meats and fish on occasion You?
Yeah I like meat but I can respect vegetarians I don't know about vegans though I think that becomes a little ridiculous unless you have health reasons that you have to be vegan Or religious I don't think vegan is healthy at all
It's a bit hard to get the correct nutrients It's totally doable But most dont Plus it's hard as heck having to check everything you eat Pm only left to home cooking at that point
Sorry i am eating some carne Acadia fries
Oh no worries~ Sounds delicious
Oh that was really good sorry Wow YEah Have you ever had carne Asada fries? It is like one of my favorite foods
