James,
I cannot say on the behalf of others but at least i am not affected by narmalcy bias.
That is not my reason to dismiss AI.
Let me try it once more in a different way.
My opposition to AI is based on a very simple premise - Consciousness creates complexity.
While you are suggesting - Complexity creates consciousness.
That is the real difference.
May i ask you a simple question?
Did you ever notice why all robots are created just similar to humans?
Is there any logical necessaity for a robot to give such a shape?
That is done purly for the reason to fool people.
Secondly, if only adding more and more information is the only requirement of the AI, they would have not done that in the form of something like Asimo. There may be better alternatives.
Think of the severs of Wikipedia, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, Gmail, MSN and all other likewise companies. And, add govt classified organizations like Nasa, Nato and many unknown others also to it. I do not think that a normal person like me cannot even imagine how much information is stored there within the grasp of US govenment as 70% of the servers of the world are located in US, besides its own.
James, that is the right place to try for AI. All they have to do it to synchronize all that information and put it systematically in a big super computer and connect it with internet as to get the latest feed. In that way, that single entity would come close to having almost whole of the information that the humankind has been earned so for. Then, they have to watch it or connect it with something like Asimo to see how it performs.
If there is any possbility of AI, that is only way to do it, not something like a tiny human shape robot.
Though, i do not have any means to know, but i am sure that they would have done with something like that i proposed but failed.
James,
To develop AI or AW, any entity must have its own feeling senses, not infused ones. Then, everything can be built upon it.
But, AI suggests that let us first have information, Intelligence would come later by default.
You can give information to machines, not the sense to feel it at the different levels. The all that a robot understands or feel in real sense, is nothing but merely 0 and 1. To be more precise, computers do not understand even 0 and 1, but this or that, this this, that that, this that, this that. That is their actual understanding. They do not understand the induction or multipication of this and that in real sense.
Let us imagine that a film is playing on TV and a human is watching it and he is getting emotionally infuenced by it.
Now, if you put some anlyzing type of machine before it, it will tell you all about the techncical detalis of the radiation that is omitting from the screen. And, even having more detailed and precise detail of the subjuct, machine is going to miss the actual message of the trasmission, simply becasue it has to deduct the film to its level of understanding in the first place, before analyze, and that is again 0 and 1.
The real change is required at initial level, not the top.
Let me put it in a different way.
Think of electomagnetic radiation. As we all know that it operates in differnt bands. Some portion of it can be traced by our eyes and that is called as light by us. But, some artificial bands of the same radiation can be traced by our ears as a sound. So, technically, there is no difference between light and sound but still we need different organs to comprehend those. Why?
That is point i want to make.
The more levels of comprehension an entity would have, the more it would evolve. Complexity comes later by default.You may consider it a religious argument if you want, but the fact of the matter it that no physical matter can ever create feelings, and that is essential both for AW and AI.
And, it is not my assumption. I know that.
with love,
sanjay
