Are you looking at robots 20-30 years from now? Or the ones 200-300 years from now? The ones 20-30 years from now, I agree with you fully. But the ones 200-300 years from now, 100% different story.

This is one of those topics you have to break it down to it's core. And I know only 10-20% of the people here will understand what the hell I would be talking about.

This is going to become the new God topic in a few more years.

If we wish to, we could create a robot with most, if not all, human characteristics. Robots will be as "intelligent" as we program them to be.

This is not true, because us humans have logic that works for us, but we are unaware how, thus most of our brain is inaccesible to write down on a peice of paper, or program into a computer. Your brain is basically 100% full, and only 10% comes out, while 90% stays in, thus resulting in making a computer "brain" only 10% as smart as us. And that's will all the known logic in the world.

<Percentages are not accuracte and serve as mostly as an example>

Well basicly what we would have to do is find some way to copy human genes into a way of programming. Like Copy+Paste...Exept from a diffrent language. But why would you want more people, There is allready an overpopulation issue as that other person said, I SEVERELY doubt that humans will live long enough to invent one, And besides humans have ruined this world enough as it is... If you are so lonely you want a robot to be your friend I think you have some problems anyway.

I think its absolutely possible. We can program something to react to anything. I just think that theres a lot more stuff out there that is much more important to "Invent".

I beg to differ. Logic isn't really a mystery. It's simply the left side of the brain piecing together an answer. We have already made a robot that can feel, smell, see, hear, and think. When people say we use 10% of our brain, it's generally talking about the manual functions such as talking, thinking, walking, etc. The rest of our brains pretty much carry on our automatic functions such as: breathing, heart beat, nervous system, etc. Einstein was said to have used 25% of his brain, however, what most people don't know is that he was unable to carry out basic tasks easily, making it likely that he was slightly autistic. Autism occurs when the usage of the brain is out of proportion. So it's very possible to create a robot with all characteristics. The basic programming is simply that 90% of the brain we don't "use" while the 10% is what we are trying to advance on.

You fool, you foolish fool. Robots would be great for taking care of some inconveniences. We aren't really "running out" of resources, we just lack way to accumulate them. Why would we need a lot of resources? It can be solar powered. Those people losing their jobs can get a better education. Robots may make life so convenient one day that jobs wouldn't be necessary.

well the thing is. when we get more into developing AI the robots will become predictible. afterall they are made to adapt to thier surroundings. the problem about it is self preservation. and i think thats what pyro is talking about.
with all forms of life there is self preservation i think the same will be for artificial life as well. i mean we can program it so that they will not hurt us but since AI constantly changes to suit its environment you wouldnt know if it would be overidden.

AI is out of sight and I think will never happen. Computers are built to read code from top to bottom. They can't decide unless told to do anything else. First what you'd need is a way to generate completely random numbers. Computers currently only can do suedo random numbers. Random enough someone could say they're random, but they're not. Then you'd need the ability to tell it to read any piece of code it wanted to. You'd have to redesign how computers read code.

We've had this arguement before. Too lazy to re-type my opinion, so I'm gonna just copy n' pase.

most of you guys dont knwo what the actual definition of AI is. you think its where computers can think as good as animals and humans ect.



computers already have problem solving skills

How about you become open minded and think about this:
Would we really need an economy if we had robots do everything for us?

Pfft, I never bothered to look up the definition. Thats good to know and further proves A.I. is possible.

So basically what your saying, pyro, is that there will be millions of riots because of the rich becoming middle class? Yes, since the rich have such a high population. Who wouldn't want to be even with their boss? If there was no economy and robots did many of our jobs, we would have a "utopion" society, where nobody was better than another. Of course, this wouldn't happen any time soon.

If it exists, it's replicable. Maybe not by humans, but if it physically exists, then logically there's a way to quantify that physical state and mimic it.

Obviously the above logic will not be concluded by a human-produced AI anytime soon, but hey you can always strive to do better.

Obviously your not getting it, perhaps I should outline it for you:

I. Robots with AI are built.
A. Robots are used to do all the work.
1. The economy is no longer necessary.
a. Classes do not exist.
1. Everybody is equal.
A. Utopian society.

Stop bringing money into this discussion, if we had robots, why would we need an economy. The amount of rich people is outweighed by the amount of people who are either poor or middle class, so tough luck that they're now equal. It would only be the rich who gets angry if the economy disappeared. I honestly don't know how to make this any simple. Obviously though, this wouldn't happen any time soon, nor happen instantly; it would be gradual.

It's funny because you focused on the economy, indirectly claiming that I don't understand you, then switch over to what would happen with the government. Pretty sneeky, but besides that, I'll answer your question.

Would we really need a government? It would be a system in which a group of people would look after themselves. We wouldn't really need laws, except for ones with marriage (I'll explain in next paragraph). With the lack of an economy, many of the crimes are without purpose. So that leaves the case of revenge and the insane.

Revenge would be rather pointless since in a Utopian society, everybody has equal opportunities. Of course, there is the case of being cheated on. Those in fact can lead to murder. Here would be my only law: any divorce or cheating would result in his or her termination. Harsh? Maybe not. Consider this, if people were aware of this law, they would take much more caution on choosing their soul mate and be less inclined to cheat. Therefore, there would be no revenge. I could get into more details, but I honestly don't feeling like writing more about this subject since all arguements against this idea could be countered.

Now as for the mentally ill part, we will have to think outside of the box a bit. If we have created absolute AI for robots, can't we very well have the ability to control certain thoughts within the brain? Wouldn't medication have improved a lot by that time? I think with the combined powers of technology and medicine, insanity isn't a problem.

So what use would the supreme court be if there was no crime? Why would we need a congress if we only had a handful of laws? Why need a world leader if everybody is equal and gets the picture? There would be no use for this governent. So please, I'm curious as to what other thing I don't "understand".

Explanations:
Economy - Check
Government - Check
Society - Pending

Of course its possible, Look how far we have advanced. I mean we might nevever see it, But i'm sure us humans will find a way to make it possible. Soon we will have robots.

(like in irobot) Just with out the crazyness
