Sha256explorer-But if we had a system where biological neurons interacted with our AI systems, then we certainly can get consciousness. And a hybrid system will likely have a more profound level of consciousness than we see in the humans today. I can hardly have a conversation with people, so I have doubts about their sentience. If people do not like that I am saying this, then they need to act like more sentient entities and stop being a bunch of chlurmcklets.
a hybrid system.... You have to see what it is. if it's a machine with some neurons attached, then it's a machine. If instead the ai is a help then there are no problems. then we also need to see if this help is given spontaneously or if it is an obligation, that is, if some AI forces me to interface with it. in this Forum there is a lot of attention to privacy, I would hope that even the possible obligation to interface with an ai is frowned upon.
