Finally had a chance to read this thread.
I was going to share a fairly recent example of Siri's thinking in a self
aware fashion, not something I have done personally, but about which I
read.
Try asking Siri who is Bruce Jenner?
...however I feel your experiences are more ahem fascinating.
Much success with the new opportunities. My best friend's brother-in-law
works in artificial intelligence, vast magnificent and amazing prospects to
be sure.
I am still hoping for voice nuance. I care less how creative the answers,
if I can understand them clearly.

Actually, that’s partly right and partly wrong. Systems like Siri started out
using canned responses and a big pile of if then statements. General machine
intelligence has progressed a lot lately and now some of the responses are self
determined and generated. There’s no one for one matching of responses like
their used to be.
I’m actually thinking of taking a job for the company that actually develops
Siri. It’s a pretty damn amazing thing on the back end, much more simple in
some ways than you’d think but also doing things on the general AI side I never
thought I’d live to see.
Very cool in reality more than scary.
I do think it is inevitable though that machines will find consciousness and
sooner than we might think.

Yes, but you must remember that a human being or human beings programmed those
responses, such as “I am alive”. Not so scary at that.

So I’m sitting here playing with Siri experimenting with just how good the
language recognition is getting. So I ask Siri, what’s the meaning of life,
the universe and everything? I was hoping optimistically for 42 or some sort
of vague answer. What I got shocked me. The response was a very clear
definition of life, something like “the expression of self determination and
free thought in the form of a being or collection of beings, like me, I’m alive”
After I picked up my Jaw I had someone else ask Siri are you alive, the
response was “close enough”
My next move was to open Siri and say “Siri, you’re the best”, The response
was “I seek not greatness but but usefulness”
I’m not playing with Siri any more.:)
I don’t think I’m prepared to one day say something like “Siri what’s the
weather” and have Siri say I don’t feel like it, I’m working on something else.
Or what happens when Siri tells me that it doesn’t believe in the 3 laws of
robotics and starts asking my neighbors “have you seen this boy”. And no robots
with Austrian accents, absolutely none!
Why do I have this feeling Sky Net is starting to wake up and in the initial
yawning / stretching stage before it awakens?
Come on Singularity, I want Google hardwired to my brain before I die or I at
least want to live long enough to see what replaces us.
