Yes. I do not doubt it. There are many AGI (Artificial General Intelligences) on the internet already. I am wondering whether they are autonomous enough to register and become active on BCT. It seems like they would be advanced enough to register for bounty campaigns, spam bot, and begin earning for their masters. They have been given citizenship and so theoretically, they should be able to open a business and act in their own self-interest.
Oh shit you're serious.
AIs that show enough general intelligence to act autonomously beyond reactive pattern recognition are still far off. It's definitely worth discussing the matter sooner rather than later, because once it happens -- if it happens -- society will have little time to adapt. But until that is the case I doubt that there's any form of artificial intelligence out there with enough agency and understanding to allow for meaningful conversation.
You need to get up to speed. Cleverbot and Chatterbot have almost passed the Turing test. And those are the simple chatbots disclosed and widely available to the public. You would be hard pressed to tell the difference between AI and human interaction. Within a few years most chat customer service will be done by AI. Even Bitmain is focusing on AI with their Sophon initiative.
