I disagree that Rachel Eldon and
other android were intelligent beings and doesn’t have a real consciousness
like a human because artificial intelligence can’t experience to create
memories in order to feel emotions. When robots come to mind, I think of bunches
of wires and programs codes. After reading “Dream-Logic, the Internet and
Artificial Thought,” it explains on how many ways an artificial intelligence
can’t be a human due to the fact that their conscious mind is all program.
Artificial intelligence can be smarter but not have a mind like a human. David
Gelernter discusses on how artificial intelligence can’t have feelings or feel
how something is. For example if a human touches fire, automatically it will
hurt but an artificial intelligence won’t feel anything and would not take away
the hand. Another reason is that an
artificial intelligence won’t feel how something is soft or warm. The machines
could take an ice cube and feel anything of the material unlike humans; they
will soon realize the ice cube is cold.
A word that David Gelernter described how
artificial intelligence are, is that the machines are similar to zombies. This
demonstrated that machines will show no expressions. For humans, each feeling
comes with an expression. When someone feels sad, the face expression is a
crying face or when someone feels embarrass, their face will turn all red.
Artificial intelligence are machines that can’t change their faces in order to create an
facial expression. They can say that they are happy but it won’t show on their
face. Gelernter also mention that Artificial Intelligence can’t have
experiences or revisit an experience. When someone revisit an experience, old
feelings will come back and feel like living in that moment. Machines are
program and know only information rather than to create memories. Someone has
to put in information to the machines. David Gelernter made great arguments to
believe that Artificial Intelligence can’t completely pass by like humans.
