Bacon

How does one torture something that has no histamine or physical nerve/pain response?

According to most of our recent administrations, we can torture humans. What if we uploaded their consciences to machines? Would it be ethical to torture *them*?

The Turing test is based off of people’s gullibility.

Cernovich you killing it tonight.

Great question. John Searle proposed an argument that is called the “Chinese Room” which contraindicates the ability of a machine to “understand” intelligence or reasoning. However, an animal brain, regardless of how primitive it is, still has nociceptors and a sensory cortex...

With AI and food it’s one thing, but what about clones? Or even genetic humans with designed “synthetic” DNA. That was the moral conundrum blade runner brought forth.

Because my love of bacon doesn't care about ethics.

BLT

Just because it doesn’t show emotions doesn’t mean it doesn’t understand them...think about it logically...AI would know humans well enough to know that reacting to emotional or violent behavior never works...It’s more about them knowing our weaknesses They read

Yes on AI torture. But even if not, because bacon.

Yes I’d fry that robot and sleep like a baby

The idea of “torturing” a victim - ie causing physical or emotional pain, discomfort and duress - for one’s personal benefit says more about the torturer than the subject, whether the subject is AI, an animal or a enemy combatant. The ethical arguments vary but not the substance

Wow. Can pigs pass the Turing test?
