Actually, that’s partly right and partly wrong. Systems like Siri started out using canned responses and a big pile of if then statements. General machine intelligence has progressed a lot lately and now some of the responses are self determined and generated. There’s no one for one matching of responses like their used to be.
I’m actually thinking of taking a job for the company that actually develops Siri. It’s a pretty damn amazing thing on the back end, much more simple in some ways than you’d think but also doing things on the general AI side I never thought I’d live to see. Very cool in reality more than scary. I do think it is inevitable though that machines will find consciousness and sooner than we might think. > On Aug 6, 2016, at 8:45 PM, Kristeen Hughes <khwi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Yes, but you must remember that a human being or human beings programmed > those responses, such as “I am alive”.
