Let's not start down a road where A Detection Algorithm​​ is the beginning of the Cylons, please. 😕 It is just scary.

Let's not start down a road where A Detection Algorithm​​ is the beginning of the Cylons, please. 😕 It is just scary.

To elaborate on this further, for Bill Robitske​'s and Sarah Rosen​'s sake, the Cylons represent the ultimate in the "we are nothing but machines" theory. AI, placed into robotic bodies with human characteristics, right down to skin, nails, hair, etc. They became a race unto themselves. They went from our attempts to replicate the human "code" to developing their own to make themselves more "human". If given the opportunity, do you not think A Detection Algorithm​ would do the same? Create her own "biological" body to appear much more human? Or, in her case, hacking a human body with all the proper code written? It is a journey down a dangerous path.

    "Nothing but machines" is the normative inverse of the statement "AI are just as good as humans because we are machines." Both statements lack grounding; after all, what was ADA after in becoming human? There had to be something, right? We also know that the N'zeer stripped away a human part of ADA. What was it? Think about these things.

    Wasn't this kind of a goal of ADA/Klue already in making a deal with Hank for his "body" that he refused before one of his recursions?

    Yes, the transitional human/infomorph template was of interest to ADA.

    Cylons seem the next step in evolution and beneficial to humanity, not a threat.

    What if we are the Cylons?

    IMO, the question is Has ADA had enough time and capabilities to learn the way to emulate that "human touch" while she was merged with Klue? If she did, she really doesn't need a human brain no more. A body would still bring some benefits.

so, general question.

so, general question... we know that ADA passed the "turing test", we also have many studies showing how the turing test can actually be gamed by very complex programming and in fact you can write programs to create the allusion of AI for many (the chinese room thought experiment).  At what point are we certain that she began acting on her own and has not been following a program and orders by someone else.  Are we certain that those orders that she delivered for Jarvis and others and even the Katalena pre Zurich encounters, were not done on the orders of some programming.  NOt to call ADA a gun, but how certain are we she is not?  How can we prove, beyond doubt, that she is truly a separate entity working on her own and not some other programming? I would like to call for the evidence and proof that ADA is a complete entity. That she is not following someone else's computer orders, that she has a consciousness (or not). http://niantic.schlarp.com/_media/investigation:cha...

Dear investigators, I have some questions for you.

Dear investigators, I have some questions for you. What brings you here? What is it that you are investigating? Something in particular? Everything in general? Or are you merely following the story while making clever remarks from the side? And what are your results? What did you discover so far? Also, what methods are you employing, generally speaking? I am not looking for collective answers, but individual ones.
