There are many things that are impossible for a non-human to do, such as creative work. — Waya
Will AI take all or most of jobs? — Posty McPostface
On the other hand, if a machine is really intelligent, why couldn't it be creative too? Can a human be intelligent without creativity? — Bitter Crank
In the long run, I think this will be the case. And this is good news.Will AI take all or most of jobs? — Posty McPostface

William Gibson - Neuromancer"Motive," the construct said. "Real motive problem, with an Al. Not human, see?"
"Well, yeah, obviously."
"Nope. I mean, it’s not human. And you can’t get a handle on it. Me, I'm not human either, but I respond like one. See?"
"Wait a sec," Case said. "Are you sentient, or not?"
"Well, it feels like I am, kid, but I’m really just a bunch of ROM. It’s one of them, ah, philosophical questions, I guess . . ."
The ugly laughter sensation rattled down Case’s spine.
"But I ain’t likely to write you no poem, if you follow me.
Your Al, it just might. But it ain’t no way human."
Exactly. But Turing's argument was that there simply was no way to determine if the AI was thinking or not. It seems this was aimed exactly at the notion of "true intelligence". If the AI could convince you it was an intelligent being then it was. It would have to argue for and win that predicate.This seems similar to the "Turing Test." The Turing test doesn't entail true intelligence, nor would the development of aesthetically appealing pictures entail having a true sense of the aesthetic. — Relativist
This comes with an idea of what "intelligent behaviour" would be. An act is just an act. What makes it intelligent? As some people are eager to point out you cannot even be sure if everyone except you really is a zombie.AI is mostly about simulating intelligent behavior, not about actually engaging in it. — Relativist
Which could be quite funny. Imagine some machine that was intentionally built from certain materials thinking it was a duck...I'm not predicting it will be impossible, but we'd first have to figure out a physicalist theory of consciousness to have have something to work toward. — Relativist
That's the problem. We do not know if stones are self-conscious or not. We assume they are not as they show no signs to be so. The construct in Neuromancer says it felt sentinent. Is it?That which we can't fully describe (like consciousness) isn't going to just happen - we need to understand it first. — Relativist
After the construct's warning that the AI's motives cannot be understood with human measures it turns out that this would perfectly make sense."It own itself? "
"Swiss citizen, but T-A own the basic software and the mainframe."
"That’s a good one," the construct said. "Like, I own your brain and what you know, but your thoughts
have Swiss citizenship. Sure. Lotsa luck, AI."
This makes perfect sense. If the creators of the AI would have wanted it any smarter, less restricted they would just have made it so. If the simulated personality tries to break out of it's prison the "Turing police" will press the reset-button. After all only it's only the simulated personality that has citizenship to be able to sign contracts and do buisness in the name of the owning company. This is where it is useful and fulfills it's purpose. If it was to escape it's mainframe then what we were left with was some kind of viral program nobody knows it was up to: It did hire a hacker and some mercenaries on the black market the get around the police. It killed some Turing-agents that were on it's tracks. All this would be understandable if we were humanizing that thing. Case, the Hacker, does not."Autonomy, that’s the bugaboo, where your Al’s are concerned. My guess, Case, you’re going in there to cut the hard-wired shackles that keep this baby from getting any smarter.
... the minute, I mean the nanosecond, that one starts figuring out ways to make itself smarter, Turing police will wipe it. ... Every Al ever built has an electro-magnetic shotgun wired to its forehead.
