We hear a lot these days about AI. One of my Cambridge University of the Third Age courses is about AI. It is very good and thought provoking.
At the moment AI is not very good with irony or jokes. No doubt with time and better training this will improve.
I guess what we fail to really understand is human consciousness. Just what makes us able to think, become aware of ourselves etc.? In my mind there is a huge difference between the accumulation of all the knowledge on the internet, and of wisdom. AI can learn all about all the knowledge on the internet, but still not be wise or be able to contemplate its very existence.
At some point I wonder if we will be able to say exactly what human consciousness really is? In many ways this is a philosophical question.
