[quote:Freelapse:MV8xNzk4NDU3XzI5OTA2NDE1XzUwNDgyM0Q2] [i]Many presume that Artificial intelligence will be invented. I think there is a greater likelihood that it will simply manifest out of these internet exchanges, in the same way that consciousness emerged from all of this binary neuronal activity.[/i] http://www.fadsmashers.com/19/post/2010/5/artificial-intelligence-the-internet-skynet-and-the-global-hivemind.html [i]How might this manifest itself? Heylighen speculates that it might turn the internet into a self-aware network that constantly strives to become better at what it does, reorganising itself and filling gaps in its own knowledge and abilities.[/i] What is a better internet and do we humans have a voice in the matter? Sci-fi type stuff "that could never happen its just like that movie" hard to believe but all the pieces are there. [/quote]
Original Message
There are some who say no.
We say yes and believe it may have already happened
and may have been the case for eons.
What do you think?
-Serious human replies wanted.
-Alien replies would also be wanted.
-But only 'logical' responses are needed.
