Fire isn't in the log, but you can approximate a burning log to some
degree with concrete log and burning gas. It's not a log but it is
fire in the fireplace. If I turn on cable TV around Christmas, they
run a video of a log burning. That also is not a log, and it's not
fire, but it emulates a visual sense of the thing.
So, in the same way, you can have a program running a YouTube of a
person, which is like my TV log, you can have a really great android
brain made out of silicon and plastic which maybe gets you to the
concrete log, provided that you are connected to a gas utility or
propane tank - which *would* have to be organic and combustible. Maybe
nanobot neurons burning glucose would be enough to sustain a spark and
give you a proper Disneyland level animatronic simulation of a person.
Craig,
Would you agree that intelligence cannot be faked? That is to say, if
your youtube program were a good enough representation to give the
appearance of intelligence, is that process necessarily intelligent?
If your youtube program were presented with SAT questions, and it
scored highly, say representative of a person with a 150 IQ, do you
think it is possible to claim the process is only offering fake
intelligence, in actuality it is not intelligent but just blindly
following instructions and not understanding a thing?
Thanks,
Jason
I wonder if Craig thinks Watson, the "Jeopardy" playing computer, is
intelligent?
