    Aloha all.

    I was checking out this uber cool website earlier in the day and I started to ponder something.

    Do you believe that a machine will ever become truly self aware anytime within our lifetimes?? ???

    Ths page was made by someone who predicts that it wont happen in the next 50 years. 32% of people disagree though.

    Whatya all think?

    I like to take the optimist role but the humility of makind may just allow this cyber catastrophe to for real happen.

    I definitely think that it is possible for A.I. to become just as advanced as the human brain, if not more. I remember watching a show on TLC about A.I., machines, and the evolution of technology. They actually predicted that A.I. would be as advanced as human intelligence within our life time.
    The subject is very fascinating to me, and I would predict that the outcome wouldn't be that far different from the "Sky Net" experiment in the Terminator movies. If we create a machine life form more intelligent and powerful than us, then why would it want to stay under our control? I'm sure a super-intelligent machine would see the human race as ignorant, inferior, and savage creatures and would find itself more fit to be in control of the planet than we are. Hopefully we can create a sense of compassion in these machines along with upgrading their intelligence.

    Humans can not even understand how we ourselves are conscious. We definitely do not understand how to duplicate that consciousness.

    We are not anywhere near capable of creating a machine that replicates the same consciousness and apparent decision making that we have. I think that artificial intelligence is just a science fiction idealogy and will remain that way for quite awhile unless we make huge metaphysical discoveries.
