This is the sort of thing I was talking about in the language of "giving an AGI the right attitude." We humans have all sorts of emotional complexes that prevent us from being objective about ourselves. One should not anthropomorphically assume that AGI's will have similar complexes! But yet, one should not glibly assume that they will automatically emerge as paragons of rationality and mental health either... In my view, what we're talking about here is partly a matter of "AGI personality psychology" ... -- Ben G ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?[EMAIL PROTECTED]
