I was wondering what you people think of artificial intelligence and what it takes to be living organism.
I noticed how people are advancing artificial intelligence software. You can even have small conversations with them. Even though most of this is all scripted dialogue. But isn't what we say and do scripted in a small way. When someone says hello your first responce is to respond in some way. And you do this because you know you should respond.
This is then scripted in someway. It may be millions of time more complex then how its done in your brain but its the same idea.
So with this how far do you think they will need to be, to be living objects that can think for its self and react on its own and be living. I also think that if these mechanical organisms could reproduce they could be even more living.
