What about if the AI can lie? Would that count as artificial humanity? In AI we are calling these lies “hallucinations”: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9939079/

I think the chief problem

has with the Turing test is not that it cannot distinguish human intelligence from artificial intelligence, but that it really illustrates that there is no difference. Humans are machines which evolved in the time since the Big Bang. All things have been observed to comply with the “laws” of Physics. Hilbert’s Sixth problem has been solved for “classical mechanics, classical field theory, and first-quantized quantum mechanics” p. 82 “On Hilbert’s Sixth Problem”, da Costa & Doria, 2022 Then, for those physical descriptions, the world can be reduced to the actions axioms, i.e. a computing process. The world appears to be an ongoing computation.

Life on earth and the entire environment etc. humans are not apart. We are all participating in that computation. Even an amoeba is aware; awareness is an algorithm. The algorithm is simple pattern recognition. I think that is the base algorithm of consciousness.

I think intelligence is a spectrum. AI is simply a branch that we humans have created in silicon.

I’ve been thinking about AI and Natural Intelligence. How do intelligence and consciousness arise naturally? https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelpon/
