Subject: [AI-Arms-Race] GODBOT ... why not?
Since God is omnipotent, He can speak to us through any aspect of His
creation, including the person of a man. So why not a robot? Some time in
this century, AI will advance so far that socially interacting robots will
surpass us in every measurable aspect of intelligence. Their theological
expressions will be so far superior to that of man that homo sapiens will
have a strange kind of variation on the Turing Test. Just as Christians
2,000 years ago wondered how they could differentiate a super-special man
and God speaking through that man, humans will wonder if Godbot is not God
speaking through a robot. What kind of robotheology would it take to pass
that kind of Turing Test?
Will Godbot pose a threat to national security? Don't you think DARPA
should create at least a way of differentiating a real Godbot from a bogus
Godbot?

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
