and what logics were in place to enforce their decision to make such a choice?

The point is, if you took those two computers and restarted the senario with the exact same variables you'd get the same result

perhaps, but what if it was a different method of communication than these two decided upon?

It won't be

The same is true of people

can only say that when the test is in fact carried out

then you have a situation with a different set of variables. There is just way too many variables for us to control to fully understand whats going on

then lion, why are there so many different languages in the world

Actually, you can

Different variables

Mostly due to different programming as it happens

the point in my personal view is this, if two computers come up with a completely dissimilar logic of communication, then there is grey area with black and white sequences of logic and programming

and if that's the case, there is a possibility a computer could become so 'intelligent' that it'd become sentient

But that happens when systems generate their own programing with even minute variability or seed alteration

They already are sentient

You dont know what that word means

it's because we're non deterministic

sen·tient
ˈsen(t)SH(ē)ənt/Submit
adjective
able to perceive or feel things.

The simple matter is, we don't even understand what it is that makes humans self-aware. Its just a big guessing game right now. We could be 1 day or 100 years away from general AI

<:cleanyourroom:429612328192049152>

perception is only one section of sentience

if we speak purely of perception, then yes, all ai and algorythms are 'sentient' by that logic alone

lol

Just stop, you don't know enough about the subject to talk about it and I really don't have the time or energy to handhold you

*Vice* I stopped reading right there

it's up to you really what you wish to say and not say, i'm not holding you captive to my reasoning

ah shit

I mean sapient when I said sentient earlier

^ told you

Oh for fuck sakes @Deleted User

lol

Sentient is a rather meaningless qualifier

sapient specifically talks of being related to humanity. however i'm speaking more generalistically, if they can provide a similar personality to an animal, then that is sufficient to myself to consider them in some manner sentient

pretty much all animals are sentinet

doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be human specific

I swear my dick is sentinet sometimes

The problem with ai's is they can be engineered directly to fit a criterion

it certainly perceives and feels

therefore it's sentient

@muh_feelings You can make that argument
