Maybe name it Cylon. or Replicas.
if that is what they are trying to create.

Working with AI in the future is going to require everybody agree that an algorithm spitting out lines of speech isnât sentient no matter how well it mimics the condition.

They should not give it a personality.
Even if itâs fake. People will get tricked into thinking they are communicating with some kind of being

I donât know. Have you read the Chinese Room Thought Experiment?
Basically AI may know Chinese, but doesnât understand Chinese lolâŚ
Believing in God has made me understand there are limits. AI cannot have a soul or even be sentient.
Itâs not âBSGâ Battle Star Galactica lol!!!

Sentience can be tested. Weâre going to have an ethical quandry if AI passes these tests.
They are quite intelligent. Their biggest limiting factor is their very short lifespan.

Octopi are interesting because they evolved their intelligence completely seperate from homo sapiensâŚ
They are not connected to us closely on the tree of evolution

No, I actually got my info from a Mark Rober video on YouTube where he designed an obstacle course for one to go through lol. Iâve also seen a good Doc called âMy Octopus Teacher.â Octopi seem pretty fashionable right now. I am not even aware of a Paul Rudd series, I will look for it.

My basic biology taught me that Upper order Mollusc like the Octopi are the like one of the first upper order animals that are capable of learned behavior. That is such a deal breaker in evolutionary behavior and credit to our octopi friendsâŚexcept that little blue ringed octopus out here that is incredibly poisonous! Welcome to Australia. Capable of learning and packs an evolutionary end to humans!

Kudos to you mate for living down in Oz and surviving!
Iâve seen some pics of your spiders that if I found in my pad Iâd run and find the nearest flamethrower LOL.

HahaâŚyeah tell me about it. Lovely country of drought and bust and even the cuter critters like kangaroos can pack a punch! Luckily we are mostly domesticated out here in the suburbs but we get lots of poisonous spiders but they arenât aggressive which is good and the odd snake which usually arenât of the bad variety.

I suppose the only way they really could become sentient is if digital components are paired with organic parts, like a organic brain. Itâs pretty sci fi, but it will probably be doable at some point. But maybe it wonât be done out of ethical reasons.
