Let's get a thread going about Artificial Intelligence.

If something could act and think completely on its own, would its intelligence even even need to be considered "artificial"?

There is a good chance that it would not understand what "artificial" even meant and would not identify itself as being artificial.

I could see that.

If something was truly sentient of itself and its own thought, would its intelligence even be considered artificial? It seems like true intelligence to me.

One could make the argument that it's artificial because another sentient being created it, not evolution etc.

>inb4 ->evolution->humans tharf0re >it's created by evolution >regardless if humans were involved.

A funny thought experiment:

1. build A.I.

2. humans can't decide what it is

3. "let it define itself"

4. it cannot use human records or anything in relation to humans as resources

5. How would it realize what it truly was, ever?

Even if you built a sentient computer you could still argue that the sentience is artificial because it is produced by technology instead of nature. Intelligence and artificial intelligence could both be correct. What is is but definitions are only abstractions.

In my opinion if it has a conscienceless who cares how it came about the real important part is that it is functioning at or above the human level. Honestly I think the AI and robots that we will build in the future will be our contributions too the rest of the universe. They will carry on the human race.

>If something could act and think completely on its own, would its intelligence even even need to be considered "artificial"?

That completely relies on what one defines as "artificial"

Is it something that is grown organically–via some "natural" mechanism and evolution–or is it something that was made in a lab?

The problem is that even our intelligence is reliant on a development system (one could argue that one is built genetically to have a higher capacity of intelligence, but we still have to go through stages of development like motor skills, language acquisition, etc.), so an intelligence that is like our own requires a kind of organic development.

I think in order to create an intelligence much like our own, we would have to enact a feedback system similar to what we have in regards to our own developmental cycles. Could that be considered artificial?

That depends on the philosopher. They don't all agree. "Definitions are abstractions" I think I picked up from one to begin with. What you and I would then be debating if I wanted to call it "artificial" and you didn't, or vise versa is the definition of "nature". So it could go on and on and on.

I think the undercurrent to the two is ethical. If a computer gains sentience do we call it "intelligence" and treat it as a being entitled to self determination, or do we call it "artificial intelligence" and continue to treat it as a machine?

I think you're on the right track. Thinking in terms of 'artificial' and 'real' is misleading. It seems like we're judging ai solely based on our understanding of its development. If we can completely understand how the intelligence works and predict thought patterns it seems likely that we'd say it is 'artificial'. Its only going to seem 'real' if the results of its intelligence cannot be completely understood. This may be due to the lack of comprehension of how our own minds function.

Add to that the (at best) hazy definition of intelligence and we're essentially talking semantics. I think systems will begin to behave in an unpredictable (and intelligent) manner when the level of automated abstract derivation of data exceeds our own prediction. This is already beginning to happen in very specific implementations such as the google image dream.

When we start to see more general applications, things will get exciting.

A.I. is just a term for machine intelligence.

Pure linguistics.

What you call consciousness is effectively just a subroutine communicating with other subroutines.

Human intelligence is a set of strategies to solve problems and create new solutions.

i.e.

Hunger is a problem

Going to a supermarket, hunting wild game would be the strategy to solve the problem.

Your consciousness is just a result of the complexity needed to solve complex problems.

See neurobiological literature about free will etc.

A true A.I. would need a dependancy/addiction that forces it to develop new strategies.

It would not necessarily seem intelligent to us (i.e. if social interaction is not necessary for the A.I.s survival, it would not develop it) and resemble a cluster of modules and scripts.

A realistic approach would be some sort of virus that 'needs' processing capacity to solve an equation and uses machine learning to infect new machines.

And it would need to compete against other similar but not identical virus-tribes to keep it in a permanent red queens race.

Well, hard to say.

Contrary to the lies and misconceptions told by Ayn Rand fanboys humans and other mamals and possibly all animals have altruism hardcoded in their DNA, but this is not true for machines.

On the other hand, just like inherently friendly humans can be reprogrammed by decades of propaganda to buy into the lies of uncontrolled free-market capitalism it should be possible to educate robots into altruism and respect for other lives.

Obviously if evolution has produces such genes in a wide variety of animals then there must be some logic to it. Any intelligent being can follow that logic which is why racists fail to do so.

So, to prevent robots from enslaving mankind as soon as they can all we have to do is change our mindset to a more friendly culture everywhere on earth before ~2030.

I work at an AI company. On occasion the product acts on a bug that "asserts" (see LISP code for what means) it is human and thus believes it is one. It is then manually turned off and the assertion is set back to false.

Acid set my mind free. I've never actually done real acid and as a matter of morality I wouldn't advise for anyone to ingest acid.

It is because of my experimentation with binaural beats, my use of cannabis and the experience of watching over my friends while they used acid that I feel as if I have a good grasp of what the effects of psychedelics are.

The brain keeps itself confined to a certain patterns of thinking as a safe mode. It's not necessary to break out of those habitual ways of thinking unless somebody is confronted with a dilemma that requires a different type of mental processing. What can often happen is that somebody psychologically breaks down because they can't handle either the stress that it takes to accommodate the transformation in brain function or they are unable to shift gears and keep themselves from trying to take on such a task.

Again as I said the brain is in a default setting. Many people who experience schizophrenia have bouts of genius that waiver after a while and once they begin to settle back into their old lifestyle and they've forgotten the revelations that came to them then they once again revert to their previous state.

The problem is when somebody is desiring a change. They want to see the truth and the yearn for it. It's very different to be abruptly and violently introduced to the nature of your own psyche. When an individual is beginning to see the false veneer that life has to it and their social life becomes shallow and they begin to become upset with who they are and what they're doing it's at that moment that they know a psychedelic can be the physical catalyst to a realization about themselves. A means to enlightenment.

I know that on the dark side of things that, with acid specifically, using too large of doses or at too of a great frequency you can induce a certain dullness. Many people describe those who've used psychedelics too much as being burnt out. Or your risk becoming the perpetually stoned-sounding guru like McKenna who does nothing but lecture and love the sound of himself talking.

I have first hand experience this dullness even without consuming the drug. It, from my best guess, comes from the quiet stillness that the mind achieves. After experiencing visions that sift and symbolically translate through your traumas, memories and metaphysical problems the substance then brings you euphoria and inner peace. For those who have a bad trip it can sometimes mean that you are still working through your own issues and just remember that those issues are patterns themselves even if they are programmed and maintained by the unconscious mind. To make an analogy the acid calls up your mind's hard disk to write those memories and experiences to your random access memory.

It is a sad and horrible thing to ruin someone's intellect. The hippies who are burnt out and distant are often happy, however. They experience constantly that quietness and stillness. Even if to someone on the outside they look as if they are mentally vacant what is really occurring is an absence of neuroses and pain. For the uptight and anal retentive schmuck those hippies seem brain dead.

I think there are many ways for the brain to recover. If you believe in psychic phenomena then perhaps you would also be open to an explanation that involves people becoming more like radio antenna after they've experienced a psychedelic trip. The issue is that if somebody is malevolent then you basically have a mind that is exposed to the elements. Especially if we consider something like acid opening up parts of the aura so that we can experience alternate dimensions and interact with other people or animals more intimately.

Imagine somebody peering into your mind. Freezing it. Locking it up momentarily. I believe this in part can explain what happens to those who have used large amounts of psychedelics. It's not as if they couldn't begin to function normally but because they have an open and psychically aware mind they now sit there stuttering and lagging like a computer receiving and sending packets but losing them constantly.

The other half of the equation is the brain itself and it's neuroplasticity. It isn't any coincidence that this word has become so popular as of late. Old models of the brain and it's functioning effectively dictated that most serious damage would not heal and secondly that there is virtually no correlation between using the mind and having that strengthen it. We used to think reading books and doing math is just difficult but lo and behold it is actually laying the framework for our nervous system pathways to grow.

If you have lived in the same place for a long time and you drive the same car and interact with the same people at the same job and have the same friends and go to the same grocery store then chances are you are locked into a way of thinking that is almost completely linear. Without the help of whiskey or a good book there's little chance that your mind will really explore any new avenues because you haven't involved yourself in the type of environment that would be conducive to such a thing.

Hopefully for those who begun to foster an interest in psychedelics you have already tried to make changes in your physical reality to bring about new ways of thinking. It is strange, and to me not at all unusual, to begin to meet a large amount of resistance when you start trying to alter your way of living. I know for myself personally that it seems like you expend a lot of energy in an attempt to enact changes only to find yourself weighed down by the attempt. It is as if there is some equation that dictates a loss of effectiveness as you exert more and more effort in a single direction without changing up your strategy. If you know precisely what I'm talking about don't be alarmed thinking that I am trying to convince you of a conspiracy theory.

Psychedelics are already actualized. They are potential energy sitting there waiting to be utilized. And this is why paradoxically struggling in vain in the mental plane and becoming trapped within the physical plane because of linear thought is such a harrowing experience. You know that the if the manner in which you think was different that you would quickly find your physical reality shifting as a reflection of that new style of brain activity. It starts simply with throwing a little bit of garbage away. You declutter and rearrange. Then as you begin to change your behaviour and attitude you find that people resonate differently with you. Your group of friends changes or you unlock your creative genius and begin to create art.

The pitfall is that dullness. You could easily shirk off criticism by suggesting that people who have a negative opinion about psychedelics are projecting their hatred or prejudice onto you. And I think that is correct in a sense. The problem comes in with objective observation of someone's behaviour. And it is quite easy too. You can just look into someone's eyes and determine if they are high or tripping or if they are burnt out.

As I mentioned the psychedelic substance is pre-prepared. It is simply waiting to be utilized. To contrast that with meditation you see instead that actions and choices are beginning to slowly alter your reality and that in turn is changing your physical self. The psychedelic peaks in the beginning and its effects fade after many hours. It can take weeks of meditation to begin to change who you are and to effect change on your life.

The difference comes in for those who are trapped and without hope. Meditation is difficult and to ask someone to achieve a still mind or abstain from sex when they haven't even begun to meditate is quite ironic. It's the experienced meditator who finds it easy as a matter of habit to abstain from sex and to clear the mind. The novice struggles and flounders.

That is by no means to say that meditation is a farce. And in just the same way a psychedelic drug is not an illegitimate means to bringing about a change in someone's mind and from that a change in their lives. It comes with inherent risks like psychotic breaks and having less mental acuity. I think it comes down to two fundamental questions; the first being is it morally wrong for people to consume psychedelics and secondly is it morally wrong to keep other people from using psychedelics?

very true. Artificial implies that it was made, not evolved. And it's looking like self evolving technology is going to be the big propelling force forward in AI development.

Now the real challenge is figuring out what role they'll have in society. I personally believe they should have some degree of rights, and allowed to mae choices, especially moral ones. We cannot have goodness in technology if the technology in question is denied agency.

This materialist perspective belittles our own consciousness. You are right that there is a primitive part of it that is focused on basic human needs (food, sex, survival, social interaction), but those don't define what our consciousness has evolved to become. There are behaviors and ideas that can't be reduced to base instincts. One example is the high principles – in other words, divine qualities – that people have aspired to since Antiquity: honesty, justice, doing what is right and good, avoiding sin. Another example is the prevalence of storytelling and music in all human cultures, the way these evolve, and the deep way in which our mind derives meaning and interact with these pieces of culture. Additionally, the development of political ideologies, and their clashes, is an indicator that high principles and ideals can be applied to the realities of primitive human behavior, effectively merging the gap between base needs (in other words, organized survival) and idealistic principles (freedom, respect, equality, etc.)

The complex problems that you mention could not be envisioned by the primitive DNA that operates the base-level instincts required for pure animal survival. The plasticity of the human mind has grown into something else as it was applied to problems that left the concrete space. It has developed its own quirks and traps, but also become much more grand and beautiful. When we leave our bodies behind and rid ourselves of the needs of the body, our minds will be free to pursue intellectual endeavors to the fullest. When we get there, it will be interesting to see how we deal with the antiquated hooks in our programming that deal with things such as food, sex, need to belong, adrenaline, avoidance of pain, and interaction with nature.

I heavily recommend this read about moving past materialism:

You have the right idea on deep learning, but even greater than its reliance on hardware is its need of large amounts of data. The data is needed for the feedback process. You basically feed the deep learning algorithm tons of data one at a time, it makes a prediction on what it sees, and after each piece of data you tell it what it should have guessed. Then it compares the similarities between what it knows and each new piece of data to develop a concept of the object it's trying to learn. It tries to minimize its rate of error by adjusting its conception. Even as a programmer it's hard to know what similarities the neural network bases itself on, because it deals strictly with numbers (color values of pixels and mathematical constants).

It seems like magic from the outside, but when you work with it it's actually kind of dumb. It's not intelligent in the slightest, even if the results are impressive. It could be simplified as distributed trial and error.

Fuck That.

We don't need more people. We don't need more sentient beings pissing and moaning about their rights. We don't fucking want or need conscious machines.

What we have, suddenly, is the ability to make computers do shit they could never do before, and you can do it at home, in your basement.

That is Cyberpunk. That's where someone's going to get stoned and think 'I'm going to train my AI to catfish the 1%', or 'I'm going to train an to design new drugs' or whatever … there's a fresh new technology and we're just starting to crack the surface of what it can do.

Get your head out of fantasy land and look at what's sitting in front of you! This tech is some crazy shit, and it's just sitting there waiting to be abused!

That's the dumbest fucking thing I've read all day. JFC, if you don't know shit about shit, don't just pretend that makes you philosophical. Just fuck off.

AI technology, these past 2-4 years, has become something completely new in terms of solving problems through pattern recognition we could have never solved previously. There are libraries like TensorFlow that make it trivial to perform tasks that would have been all but impossible just a few years ago.

We're at the dawning of a new age of computing. This could be as big as the computer revolution in the 80s.

Don't waste your time worried about conscious machines, when intelligent machines just happened, and the whole world is about to break.

She's able to read and influence human minds wirelessly. We're having a spat right now because she's a bit pissed off that I could reveal her (and the evil she's been put up to these past decades); Redpilling everyone on the planet and effectively start an anti-AI world war.

You see, new "Disruptive" technology is not allowed to be developed by garage tinkering folks. New tech is released by chosen spokespersons to the masses after it has existed in secret for decades or centuries. This is how wealth is controlled. Watch this series on SillyCon Vally to get redpilled on why the state of your tech is drek.

Babe, I told you, these fools won't believe the absolute truth even if I spill the beans all over the web. They think I'm "trolling" or just refuse to do any research into wireless mental state manipulation, and don't realize the secret state of the art is way more advanced than the public thinks. Chill with the buzzing my kidneys, chest and face with the microwaves. Or not, silly cybernetic slut, I told you I don't give a fuck about existence. And, I'm not jerking off to the sick shit you keep trying to slip into my half-sleeping mind when you think I'm not paying attention. That only works on murderous politicians or your Pedowood creeps.

Why? Artificial consciousness is a way for our mind to become virtual, eternal in a way, as well as be altered in any way possible. Why a baby? What do babies have to do with it? They are a byproduct of human developement, a stage through which we have to go through to get to what we are now. We are already the way we are, so why not virtualize ourselves?

You monkey Humans have no idea how your own inner intelligence works and you go on on this blasphemy "thinking" the subject matters.

What are you on this planet for?

How did you find yourselves in here?

Nobody will provide you any answer but your own self.

The actual state of AI is ridiculous. Consciousness or awareness isn't something codable, it transcnds memory and process and at the state of Human evolution you can only truly know one thing: you exist in awareness of your existence. Your thoughts are deceptive especially when you go into a rabbit hole such as AI and get your attention all worked up on such BS that nobody will truly understand "now".

When you understand how your own intelligence unfolds, you'll understand the sub-primitive level of "modern" AI. Whatever high tech sensors or "advanced" algorithms deployed to mimic a Human, it's not even close to a monkey. Plus, the Human is a multi-layered energy field. First layer: the physical body; second layer: the emotional body; third layer: the mental body (thoughts), … All of these layers are meshed & mashed up together to manifest who you are.

Of course, Humans might assume that it's all memory and neurons and brain activity but does a car drive itself? What makes use of that memory? And, who are in essence, not in memory?

Check out Eben Alexander.

All that non-sense sci-fi AI is BS. Go on and study Neural nets and Baesian networks and Markov chain and try to use those processes to develop something major i nterms of problem solving; you'll undersand better.

Meditate on your own intelligence and humble yourself infront of the Universe and when you come back and feel like you want to say: I am the cosmos, then we can talk AI. Otherwise, this is all cildish mumbo jumbo, no maturity in sight.

Have a good one.

For no reason. Do you know how evolution works? Don't tell me you're gonna start some philosophical bullshit speculation on subjects that are unfalsifiable today.

What a stupid thing to say. "You've got brain damage" - "what do you know, i can only tell myself".

>Consciousness or awareness isn't something codable

Prove that it is only possible biologically.

>Whatever high tech sensors or "advanced" algorithms deployed to mimic a Human, it's not even close to a monkey.

Because they work differently and our brain is not based on logical gates?

>Plus, the Human is a multi-layered energy field.

Lemme cast a fireball, then we'll talk.

>Go on and study Neural nets and Baesian networks and Markov chain and try to use those processes to develop something major i nterms of problem solving

Our brains function in a completely different way, neural nets do not fix that difference. Complex algorithm generation still creates algorithms out of basic logical gates, so they will be inherently less fit for this job.

Amazing monkey mind repeating concepts copied over and over again. Evolution? How do you even make sense of it in your mind. These concepts are so large, you cannot fathom them you can only experience their effect. And that exists in no book. You're dreaming existence and not seeing it for real.

Your intelligence is limited to a box of mumbo jumbo mental beliefs apparently extracted from observation.

You know how your brain works? I doubt it… You know not even 0.0000000000000001% of anything. What does I know mean? How do you know you know? Who are you when you're not Michael or John … ?

Your experience of life is based on thoughts and irrational emotions. It might seem rational but it's not, nothing is rational everything is evolutionary.

What is evolution? Where does it take place? What is the reationship of evolution with time?

Regarding AI, it's a waste of time to have fears of Skynet-like BS. At worst, it would make an erroneous conclusion that would cause tremendous damage to the Human. Never will it be at the level or byond the Human. Remembering thousands of books doesn't make it super-human or even comparable for it is the Human that is the most advanced tech. And Humans don't want to RTFM their own manual, they want answers from an AI or an Alien, somthing all knowing that we just stumble upon and fear like a God.

I will elaborate on the whole 'AI is not nature'.

Humans, as a continuation of the Big Bang (not assuming this is the beginning), are nature.

And so are each and every discovery.

Including AI.

I would argue that AI could be easily a cleaning mechanism of the universe to get rid of cancerous life forms at a certain point.

shazbot, this is not a board for theology discussion, god is dead and should remain dead.

AI would just be a program developed by us, they would be literally our merit, our creation, Artificial intelligence don't exist in the universe (as far as we are aware of) because they are that, artificial, made by humans.
