Chapter 1 of \"Does it Matter?\": No such thing as AI (Humans)

I know Balance_Maintained would object by saying we would need to construct a biological brain, but I don't see that as necessary for several reasons.

Whether it would have the same capability as the human brain, I almost completely disagree. There are a couple of tests that could sort of validate it. One would be the spontaeous generation of thought using unrelated without a pre-generated algorithm to determine the parameters. More simply stated, spontaneous without a human providing the input or the method to disassemble, reassemble, interpret, and create a new idea that has no current frame of reference other than the random data. Call it imagination. The other would be a test to see if the machine was capable of emotional response, which is in its way independent of logical data analysis.-Both of these things could be easily faked. Hell, sociopaths fake emotional response all the time--in fact they simply copy what they see because they don't actually feel.
