| Veracity said: 1. That was intended to be a reply to your statement about computers being able to respond yes to the question do you exist. I'm fully aware that computers are able to rationalize. 2. I would argue conscious is inherent to biological entities.it can't be artificially manufactured. 3. It's common knwledge that humans have emotions. We can measure them with neurology. 4. As defined by you, it's simply self awareness. Even severely retarded people are qualified in this regard. 5. Yes I realize you didn't like that example. I don't care too much about it. We can throw it out. Examples are numerous. |
1. Good
2. I know. That's the point of this entire discussion!
3. I could use that logic and say "It's common knowledge that robots have emotions. We can measure them with coding." What makes a biological brain more conscious than a electrical one?
4. Depending on your definition, even robots today can be self-aware. They can know their position in relation to their environment, the status of their internal systems, a memory of past experiences, etc. What are the criteria for self-awareness?
5. Okay.

This entire discussion can be essentially covered by you giving me the criteria for consciousness and explaining why it wouldn't apply to a highly advanced robot.
