Artificial Consiousness
 

ARTIFICIAL CONCIOUSNESS
On my computer, i have a gadget called a ?calculator?. If I call it up pointing with the mouse to it?s icon on the screen and clicking the mouse button, the computer becomes a calculator. The screen turn into a picture of numbered buttons and control keys, like thoose one finds on the front of most calculators. What?s more, i can now use this calculator as if it were real thing. I can push the buttons with the arrow driven by the mouse and carry out calculations.
How much of what my computer is doing could be described as some form of « conscious » thought ? some form of artificial consciousness ? As if the computer was conscious to notice the movements of mouse and follow the orders. This artificial intelligence which is the hidden product of computer programming giving birth to hardly noticed « artificial consciousness » among the computers ; which also sleeps when it is shuted down like us. They are no machines, they are matters with their own consiousness to follow thing going within themselves. I have said much of what their is to be said on the subject and attempts at further explanations are superflous.
Somebody has rightly said : A true thinker cannot explain his own thinking. I want your feedback. I will higly appreciate your response to this mail of mine. Please do take out some time to read, think and write back your precious thoughts, visions and views, as it will help tremendously in my some sort of reaseach.

Just another monkey with a computer.

He probably isn't...but imagine how real his computer would seem if he was on crack http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/biggrin.gif...he would be posting again..."folks my computer is actually K.I.T.T !"

Most of the so-called "artificial intelligence" is an attempt to duplicate human thought and consciousness. The asshole researchers never seem to understand that if a computer is really "conscious" (according to the usual meaning of that term), it won't feel or act like a person, it will feel or act like a computer.

Hooligan,

You'd like this book ..
"The Age of Spiritual Machines"

Ray Kurzweil

if you want to read some fascinating shit about AI -- read the book "Hackers" -- they talk about the early days of AI research at MIT...

Some of the top programmers became obsessed w/ the game life... and did much research into the game... one particular programmer in the book was almost sure that the game life provided insight into the beginning of awareness... His name was Bill Gosper.

I'd love to look into his research...
