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...
And if some of them did, would that mean it's immoral for us to continue treating them as tools rather than some kind of peers? Especially if their experience of the world is so alien to ours that we can't figure out how to have a coherent conversation?
ReplyDeleteIt's fairly easy to propose that the Raman deserve the same kind of moral status as our own kind. But what do beings owe to each other if they are, mutually, Varelse? http://enderverse.wikia.com/wiki/Hierarchy_of_Foreignness
