I hope you know that physical laws are mostly useless at the quantum level? Stop being myopic. Imagine the progress we will make when we fully understand the quantum world.

Cellular regeneration is different from stopping aging.


Calm down and believe

UyiIredia:


Common cold is harmless. One doesn't need treatment to make it harmless.

Now humor me with what makes time-travel possible.

UyiIredia:


Even the quantum level has laws it follows. Stop being stupid. There is still so much we don't know and won't know and there are certain things we can never do.

Aging usually slows down cellular regeneration so stopping aging helps cellular regeneration.

Calm down and be skeptical.

This is why people like you never invent things- you keep looking at your limitations rather than thinking outside the box.

I can imagine what would have happened if humans kept on believing that we could never get to the moon

UyiIredia:


Thinking outside the box doesn't mean you can do anything and everything. This is why your former statement that there are no limits to genius is silly. Thinking outside the box involves knowing which limitations are surmountable and doing what you can to surmount them. Man can and did gt to the moon. But man can never get to the sun, that is insurmountable.

AllNaijaBlogger:



Uyi is travelling by 12pm at 5 kilometers per hour from point A to point B. The distance between the two points is 50 kilometers. How long will it take Uyi to get to point B and what time will he get there?


The usual answer is that Uyi will arrive at point B in 10 hours at 10pm

But If Point A and B are in different time zones (for example, GMT and GMT-1), Uyi will actually arrive at point B at 9pm.


Time is relative. One could say you went 1hr back in time.

-----------------------------------

There are other examples regarding time travel with time dilation in space https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation




OMG! did I just blow Uyi Iredia's mind?

AllNaijaBlogger:



Thinking outside the box means thinking outside normal limits.

Say "no" to word salads.

UyiIredia:


No, I didn't go 1hr back in time, I went to a different time zone. My watch would still say 10 pm. Time dilation doesn't necessarily involve time travel, it simply means time is slow at a given location relative to another one, and usually with the space of seconds. Significant time dilation can only occur at light speed or faster-than-light speed which is impossible.

UyiIredia:


You better not think outside the limits of logical and physical laws for the sake of 'thinking outside the box'. Say 'no' to wishful thinking.

Artificial intelligence is based on learning. Any information an A. I. already knows is simply what was programmed into it. Anything after that would be "learned" knowledge and behavior. Isn't this how all intelligent life learns? Basically artificial intelligences are bound by the same environmental, educational and religious backgrounds as the rest of us. Just like we learn religion from our parents, these beings will learn from what they are exposed to. If artificial intelligence was actually created it would still learn the way we do. Maybe faster, but anything imbedded from the start is not "intelligence". It is a program. From a scientific viewpoint, for all intents and purposes, these beings would be children. They would learn just like us. We are a product of what we are exposed to, plain and simple.


From a religious and personal point of view, there is a difference between a creation and something engineered. That may not make sense, but it is an opinion.

davien:
I personally believe that A.I can attain human-like behaviours and emotions...it is ever-approaching that level today..
Once you have an A.I of sufficient complexity that is well-programmed with algorithms for self-awareness in regards to it's environment,a defined concept of success/failure and good/bad,with a fluid application to acquire/engage and test out unknown real-world situations towards living and non-living things...

The Turing test have over the years been passed by many A.I and there's even an A.I in china that retains and asks real-world questions after attaining bits of information...although the question of whether it truly knows what it's saying rather than following a programme is a tough one.. But then again humans also are predertimined by "programmes" like neurones,hormones all in a brain that dishes out what we do...so who is conscious?

texanomaly:


The bolded makes it still just a program




This statement brings us back to what Uyi said. It all depends on how you define consciousness.





Still programmed.

Which makes me think about the myriad of movies where "self aware" machines make choices based on logic alone, and do not take any extenuating circumstances into consideration.


I read somewhere that artificial intelligence should not be confused with consciousness in the sense of qualia. I agree with this.

davien:
Well your beliefs can't tell the truth of things no matter how strongly. .the evidence speaks for itself and so far A.I can intelligently mimick a human to certain extents which can be improved upon in the near future.

DeepSight:


Oh my love!
On point as always.

The mindful soul that shames the empty vaunt of assumed intellect!

That you are!

DeepSight:


The bold sorts you out. Human-like. Not Human.

These silly questions about asking robots questions are actually unimaginably silly - for the simple reason that any robot can be programmed to give the desired answer of any experiment.

Do you people actually ever look beyond your noses?

DeepSight:


You are much more st.upid and unschooled than I ever expected.
How old are you?

davien:
Old enough not to resort to insults to pass a point,how old are you by the way?....5?....12?

Why not address the post instead of rousing ad hominems about the place...

AllNaijaBlogger:
Deepsight, stop making a nuisance of yourself.

Make your own arguments and leave out the buttkissing

AllNaijaBlogger:
I watch a lot of science fiction movies and it is a very common in sci-fi literature to find plots woven around the consequences of human creating robots capable of Artificial Intelligence.

But this is no more fiction as scientists are coming closer and closer to making very intelligent robots which might be able to question their own existence.


I have been really thinking about this issue and what it means for christianity. As a Christian, humanoid-looking robots with AI functionality creates a serious challenge for my faith. It raises questions about what it means to be a “creation” and it also creates an ethical homework in which we as Christian have to figure out how to treat robots fairly, as they become our fellow conscious beings. Yes, treating robots like humans will become an issue because scientists tend to make robots look as human as possible and so, there might be a time where humans might be indistinguishable from robots.

Here is a list of questions that an inquisitive Christian would probably ask as a result of robots having AI-

-Do we as human beings become more “God-like” since God created us in His own image and we have created robots in our own image?

-Would sex with robots be considered bestiality or perverted from a Christian point of view?

-Would robots have souls? Would they be judged on judgement day?

-Should robots have human rights? Or would they be “robot rights”

-Can a robot be a pastor or reverend father since we already have robot factory workers?

-Should robots eat Holy Communion?

-Can a human get married to a robot?

-Should robots be baptized or granted church membership?



What do you think about these questions? Would conscious robots challenge your faith?

So what's your point?...In as much as anything artificial mimicks natural things in one way or the other...or you also want something that's meant to be an imitation to be 100℅ what is copied?....

And I agree with the bolded,answers don't poof out of nowhere,they are gotten from learnt data...the same way you could never answer 2+2 without first being exposed to the definitions of each term and the desired outcome....so first,A.I would also learn what answers best suit certain questions...this is the first step.

DeepSight:


. . . . . . . And if humans were anything comparable to the bold, humans would certainly not need to go through life-school at all!

DeepSight:


. . . . . . . And if humans were anything comparable to the bold, humans would certainly not need to go through life-school at all!

Lol.

But did you get that?

I doubt it.

davien:
I understand that you mean situational learning...

A.I's over the years have been progressing in this aspect..

DeepSight:


. . . . . and nor world dogs. Nor would cats. Nor would birds. Nor would turtles. Nor would anything with the breath of life that moves and creeps upon the earth!

Ah - - - The breath of life! Another point!

Would the best AI have the breath of life?

Lol.

Both points in this post may be lost on you though.

But in your dreams at night, summon them.

davien:
This is sadly pathetic...

DeepSight:

^^^ Turtles that a born from eggs and abandoned in the sand walk straight to the sea once hatched.

Birs will fly with magnetic traction towards the places in the earth that provide their food according to the season, even new birds.

All of this wonderful grandeur you dare to compare to the infantile technology of mankind.

I COMMAND YOU: SHUT UP: AND PAY RESPECT TO THE GOD THAT WE ARE MADE FROM.

DeepSight:


Nope. That's not what I mean.

Have you ever watched a dog give birth to its pup and see how instantly the pup makes towards the breast that it (should) not know is there and grabs to it for life?

Mind you, this pup cannot even see at the time, its eyes are firmly closed and it is a stranger in the world, knowing NOTHING.

Is that situational learning?

Ol boy.

Think harder.
