FuzzieDice: "ARE we that different from computers? If we are, then we probably will never get computers to achieve the ability to "think" and deduce as we can, outside of fiction. If we aren't that different from computers that means we can eventually bring computers up to our level of thought, I think (maybe, maybe not). But if we aren't too different from computers, that poses another problem of power and equality both for humans and the eventual thinking AIs."
I have to say you are very naive.. Have you ever heard of a furby? People have furbies that are smarter than some people already and it's a childs toy. A computer mapped the human genom. NOT US and thats supposed to be our latest and greatest achivement. Anyhow, do you really think the government doesn't have an AI program 100 times smarter than us? Ultra Hal is a joke compared to where we really are with this technology. The funniest part about all this is your own example of peoples reactions to finding out they learned false imformation... Ultra Hal can be programed to except anything you tell him without any question and there are at least 10 people I know that you couldn't change their mind about something with a jackhammer. The "AI" works the same way our minds do, when a topic is introduced it gives you what information it knows about that subject.. what do we do? the same thing!! If all I know about cars is they have 4 tires thats all I can bring to the conversation and it's the same with HAL. The only difference is that you and I have the choice to research the topic by ourselves anytime we wish, Hal's only source is you. If you took the time you could teach your hal everything you know it can remember ALL of it. Most people don't remember 25% of what they learned in school... We have already taken our technology far beyond ourselves.
