      When we build a program to perform a discrete task it is necessarily better at it than a person. And even some quasi-discrete tasks, e.g., identifying pictures of cats. But we still haven't figured out how to program a computer to *want* to differentiate say, cats from dogs.

      I could program that in five minutes.

          I'm referring to the general case, and as an example of the infinite general cases that people perform.

          And I'm not suggesting people are somehow better or more noble than machines. In fact, one could make a case for "humanity" as a defect rather than a feature.

          This whole discussion seems like a game of "If I were God..." Assuming we're a Simulation, let's call the Simulator "God." So obviously humans can be created/programmed. Does it then follow that humans can create/program comparable beings?

          Hey Scott, How would we know if we created a computer with an internal experience? Is there any way to test for that?

          If it is a machine that plays Go, the test would be if it would even bother playing against a human. If it has "internal experience" it would say, "no, you are too easy to beat."

          In case you didn't read my other comment, I'm not talking about a discrete case. I'm referring to curiosity in the general sense.
