>The original goal of AI research was to create a "thinkin machine" with intelligence equivalent to that of a human being.
And the wright brothers sought to create a flying machine equivalent to that of a bird. They studied birds too.
That doesn't mean they wouldn't have taken, "but but it has no feathers, it doesn't flap !!. It's only pretend flying" with anything more than a laugh to your face.
People are trying to build intelligence equivalent to a human being, not a human being.
Your now putting words into my mouth.
So, I don't think I can benefit you by continuing this discussion.
Thanks for talking though.
Feel free to step out of the discussion anytime you like. That said, I don't think I'm putting words in your mouth. That was simply an analogy for the kind of arguments I feel you're making.
Ultimately, results are what people care about. "Have they truly mastered x or are they 'mimicking' it?" is a philosophical discussion.
Results are the only means you determine something has one property or another. I'm only assuming I'm speaking to an intelligent human on the other end of this discussion. I'm only assuming you are 'conscious'. I have no idea if these things are 'really' true. If I say, 'you're mimicking my intelligence. You're not really intelligent', what proof could you bring to show otherwise that wouldn't just fall back on results? None.
