I agree it wasn't the best argument.  I wanted to point out that we shouldn't be fooled by looks.

And I think we need laws against people creating them. Sure there are those who do it anyway. But at least it shouldn't be on a large scale.

The creation of artificial humans would bypass many of the staggering difficulties of human childbirth, for one.  One could hope that it'd be the final nail in the coffin of biological essentialism and sexism. 

They might also be free of certain... design issues we suffer from.  Not to assume that they'd be perfect out the gate, but there would at least be hope for improvement.

Why would we. If we want end suffering we could simply sterilize ourselves and end all this in a generation. I'm sure there is other life out there, no need for our tools to replace us. A slab that tells future visitors about us would be the same kind of leaving an heritage.

I think think to be human includes our suffering and overcoming it with ethics, not with replacing us. A society that knows no difference and knows no pain can not develop. It would basically the society equivalent of a rich spoiled kid thinking his world view is the only one that counts.

Do I care? I like to get the 1 in a 100000 chance to guess it right.


Is the story older than 2000 years?

If we wanted to make an AI that is baically an artificial human. Obviously AIs that are specifically made for specific work and don't have the full capabilities of a human brain are just advanced tools.


We could make humans easier. AIs are workers so we don't have to. I don't think there will be enough pseudo humans to think about general rights for them. But never underestimate human stupidity and narcissism.


Quote from: MaxTheFox on December 03, 2020, 10:14:56 am
But if an AI acts in all respects like a person, why shouldn't it be considered one?

Because my mirror image also isn't considered one. -> See why should we give them feelings at all. An only mimic humans isn't enough.

Sponges don’t have emotions, yet eventually animals developed neurons and brains which have the capacity for emotions, even though some might not have them. An evolving AI might develop emotions, or it might not. The initial program doesn’t determine the future if evolution is allowed to occur

If we ever get to that, we have bigger problems than giving them some rights. And if it occurs in biological evolution speed we can discuss this again in 2 million years.

Emotional pain is a trigger to get an animal to behave a certain way. If it occurs with thought psychopath wouldn't exist.  Why would we program a AI to have that?
