True

That is why I think if Humans create new species and races... they should get the same rights if they are like us in intelligence.

If an AI has no motivation, it could be the most intelligent being in the universe, but it would simply stare at the wall.

We always assume it would have motivation. BUt AI's don't get hungry.

As long as they are same or above human intelligence.

i disagree, illegal aliens offspring shouldn't be citizens

We do things because we have drive and motivation.

I am not talking about illegal immigrants.

Our drives are rooted in feelings of pleasure and pain.

I am talking about Non-humans.

what's the difference?

still illegal

But an AI with no drive would not do anything. It would just drift through space.

There are many motivations. A motivation to move to a better computer could be one.

Illegal means they crossed the border without going through port of entry.

no, it means they didn't legally enter

oh, well, i guess that's what u said

@Malt_Hitman Yes, but where should that motivation come from? If it does not care about dying, it might just sit there.

either way, same deal.

We always assume that any intelligent life form tries to survive, but those things are hardcoded in us.

If we do not hardcode it, it won't be there.

As long as they are Legally a citizen of this nation, they should be given the same rights.

now if an E.T. legally enters, sure, its offpsinrg can be citizen, assuming we have any laws that cover non-humans

If a person doesn't care about dying could they just sit at a computer playing a MMO until they died?

That is what I am saying Paradox.

Yes.

Then those people don't encounter enough lag.

well @Undead Mockingbird i would argue, if the "AI" doesnt preserve its own "life" then its not Ai yet

it hasnt gained sentience

that we don't have laws for non-humans?

If we start our relationship with non-humans as hostile..... that would be bad.

so its just a program

It would create a cycle of hatred.

and thats not AI

Lifeforms are motivated by pleasure and pain. When you think about it, it all convreges to those basic categories:

Feels good, feels bad.

If we would not feel anything, we would just stop breathign, if it was not so automatic.

I think we should be focused on giving AI bodies.

It wouldn't hurt, we would not be afrid of dying.

it's like that one anime, it's about exchange

And restrict them not having bodies.

do this, get this, is worth?

I would gladly submit to an AI overlord's permanent MMO hibernation system
