Re: Opinion are extremely complex
Ok, first of all. I program in C++ and VB and I know alot about how computers work and I am telling you that AI cannot produce consciousness , period. K? Good.
It's not that simple. The weak AI hypothesis asserts that machines can possibly act is if they were intelligent; the strong AI hypothesis asserts that machines that act intelligently are actually thinking in a conscious manner (as opposed to simulating thinking).
You are making the grand claim that the strong AI hypothesis is unfounded, but you do not provide any particular evidence why this is so. Rather you tell us that you program in two OO languages as though the object-oriented paradigm gives you a fundamental insight into the philosophical foundations of AI.
What specific evidence do you have that the strong AI hypothesis is unfounded?

Re: I win.
You neglected to reply to my post about the strong AI hypothesis. I'd be interested to see what evidence you have as to why we should discount this philosophical line of thought.
