1 day agoI recently started debating with myself why we don’t consider artificial intelligence genuine life. I begin with the most broad truth and work towards narrowing it down to get the most specific, essential truth.
So far, I believe that the fact we have emotion is probably the single biggest determining factor in whether we are truly alive, or other words, really a form of life… More specifically, intelligent life.
Can anyone build on this? Maybe try to find a slightly narrower definition of why we believe we are alive and AI isn’t?.. And what about humans born without any functional emotions whatsoever, ie severe cases of sociopaths, psychopaths, etc. Does that mean they’re not?
Too true
