Artificial intelligence researchers claims sentient creativity
machines will be made within 5 years:
"The AI researcher Dr. Stephen Thaler has given an interview recently
in which he claims that his AI research will lead to sentient, cognizant
"creativity machines" within 5 years.
The research continues to accelerate.
Consciousness appears to be more like an intensive rather than
extensive property/behavior of the brain. It’s sort of like the gas law
equation, PV= nRT, with P and T being intensive and n and V
extensive. So, consciousness is intensive, but we as humans deny
simpler forms of consciousness, while fearing the scaled up version
attainable via machine intelligence."
