*The difference is that persons evaluated as self-aware were created in the identical process as the human observer who is self referential. In the case of a cleverly programmed computer, there would be no interview that could prove anything. No way to pass the Turing Test (or fail, depending on your definition of the test). ISTM that this is a case where we really don't know, what we don't know. AG* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
