Well actually is does matter. I think it goes back to your original and I assume continued interest in AI. (Proof of AI just happened. While I was searching for the quote below my computer with no intervention decided to send the previous unfinished post. So while it may be intelligent it is not very smart:-) To continue.. >From wikipedia: Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach "Part VII: Conclusions - Considers the past and future of AI by discussing what AI really is and why it has succeeded to some degree. Also the views of those philosophers who believe that AI can never succeed are given discussion." The starting point being what you believe "AI really is?" or potentially can be. If you think it is just passing the Turing Test it's one thing. If you think that humans can create a living, evolving, thinking machine that can survive and reproduce forever with no further human intervention it's something else altogether. But I don't think that it matters as far as the MoQ's levels go because if the machine made it to the last state and evolved "social values" even if they were different from human social values, they machine would possess those values. But the house the machine lived it would not.
