If we are not conscious, then our personalities, or personalities, similar to ourselves,
would be childs play to create. All we need to do is copy the functions of the cerebrum,
cerebellum, the amgdyla, and the medula oblongata, and hocus pocus, we'd have a working
copy of David's mind. But we haven't and there must be a reason why? Obviously, the task
is more daunting, and harder to achieve than first thought at the start of academic AI
studies. What have we missed?
There's no evidence we've "missed" something. The human brain is much more complicated
than any attempt we've made to replicate it. And if we did replicate it, it would probably
be no more intelligent than a new born. Which means we'd not only have to replicate the
learning functions but also the emotional factors which come as much from the body as the
brain. And then we'd have to stimulate it and wait for it to learn.
If we are not conscious, then why post to the everything mailing list? Have we been
programmed to do this?
?? What does "programmed" have to do with it. Presumably we evolved to do what we do,
which is somewhat more vague than a program.
