This is what we do since the beginnings. We are them. The
distinction between artificial and natural is artificial.
I deliberately avoided writing 'artificial beings', but I think they
will be 'artificial' in the sense of being deliberately constructed
as opposed to developed just by Darwinian evolution.
OK. I thought so. That is artificial too, actually, and thus natural
for creature with some enough big ego, and which might not be
completely wrong in thinking that they have some partial control,
indeed (thanks god!).
"deliberately" involves "free-will". Some might argue if that is so
much deliberate, especially from some 3p big picture. Machines too
have a long history. Personally, I do agree that "deliberate" makes
partial sense from our person points of view.
