It’s a question of size. Your ego is so large it gets in the way of reason.
You make assertions which are only supported by James S Saint. We are to take them as true and proceed to discuss the topic.
Actually, logic is only part of the picture, the ‘either’ of the formula. The ‘or’ , is quite another matter. That is the non ego, the ‘other’, the machine. If two people interact, one is me, the human being, and the other? The other is a machine. It is not me. This object like other, may a well be a machine. It serves my purposes, and i try to program it as such. If it doesn’t, then i will try to change it’s program. The distinction between man and machine is becoming narrower. It will reach a point where Descartes’ problem with his cogito, his ego, will not be merely a successful insight into the fallibility of logic, but a way to transcend this great divide of long passing.
This is SO Stupid, so desperate (B.t.w.: Your “sources” are full of egalitarian(istic) rhetoric.) that IF you are German, I feel personally disgraced.
Yes, given time, a machine will gain consciousness. How much time will it take? It’s hard to predict scientific and technological developments.
Humans in one sense control their own thoughts and in another they don’t. I expect that a conscious machine would have similar partial control.
And in their most supreme arrogance they became the very architects of their own demise…

The fate of the insecure - Those who have never had confidence, can’t distinguish it from egotism.
Pure fantasy (and of course still not on topic).
Given very many one on one invitations and opportunities, you still can’t find a single flaw in the logic of that thing that you deny. You deny merely out of fear. It is too easy for the insecure to be deniers online. Confidence frightens them.
I’m happy that have found a confident and unafraid Arminius to talk with. May he give you much credit in the future.
Ciou,
Yeah, always latching onto someone else. Until you find actual confidence in yourself, you will have no value to anyone.
And don’t think it will be long before Arminius tells you to go away (again).
Sorry, that was a hilarious typo. LOL
Should have read:
I’m not even talking to Arminius any more. ROFL
Ever heard the phrase, “Freudian slip”? 
Actually I already figured that you really meant something different. I wasn’t sure what, but what you said didn’t fit your PROFILE at all (I hate profilers, btw).
And I’m not putting stock in Arminius agreeing or being confident enough for my taste. As you SHOULD know by now, I don’t accept anything but absolute certainty backup by reasoning. Of course you DON’T know that, but let’s not continue as to why.
The greater point is as Arminius pointed out;
YOU and LEV AREN’T INTERESTED in this topic so why bother with derailing it?
I thought of that but since I had already said that I was done with him… it seems an unlikely explanation.
I asked for the evidence which supports an assertion that he made in this thread. That’s not derailing.
Then he got all presumptuous and defensive and derailed his own thread.
Over to you OP.
Will machines completely replace all human beings?
Action!
No. Because it’s all about this thread, this topic, this title of the thread and the OP. It is NOT about the poster. See here your post again:
It’s all about this thread, and you don’t like this thread, you “don’t take the thread seriously at all” (see above). So again: Why are you writing in this thread?
No. You copmplain that we complain, thus: for you it’s all about the poster and not the posts, not the thread, and not the topic of this thread and its OP.
You don’t have to leave, but I wonder, why you are writing in this thread, although you are saying that you don’t like this thread, don’t take the thread seriously at all:
The thread! So why are you writing in this thread?
???
I think I have hit the nail on the head! Bingo!
And b.t.w.: Thank you very much for advertising my posts. =D>
And IF you are really no egalitarian(istic) exploiter, then please excuse me and help me to stop the egalitarianism!
All equal means all exploited, thus all poor, all stupid, all decadent.
You are “saying”: “This thread no-longer holds any interest for me” (see above). 
Why are you writing in this thread then? Do you know that? 
Freudian greetings.
You have indeed! Please accept my advice when I say you would certainly be more intelligent if you didn’t do it so often!
Now…which is not a response to you in any way but merely an article overlapping with the title of YOUR thread which OTHERS may find interesting.

Which “advice”? Am I threatened? Is the thread threatened?
???
Well done, Tyler.
And merely attacking people is neither intelligent nor human (in a good sense).
Unless, the only other option is to self destruct.
Anybody with a sense of intelligence knows that humanity is doomed and the future is going to be horrific.
The future is a slow motion train wreck and we’re just edging our way always closer to it.
Yet still people obey authority, keep working, and add their labors to a system that so desperately wants to be its architect.
A great way of observing collective insanity at its finest.
The logical thing to do would be to avoid this future thing altogether but the only problem with that is that a majority of human beings are not at all logical.
This thing we call humanity for sure is a pathetic and sad comedy. So, like all comedies all you can do is laugh and cry.
