Comment on Microsoft AI chief says only biological beings can be conscious

Comments

In the article he seems to be saying several different things (maybe?)

1. We shouldn't give computers human emotions, or have them stimulate emotions. I guess because computers are better at solving problems and should leave human interaction to people.

2. We shouldn't try to make computers self aware. We should focus on making computers useful tools to people instead. Yet self awareness seems like it would be something that would make a program more useful...

3. Computers cannot be conscious because its just a simulation. I'd like to congratulate him on being the first and only person to understand consciousness, assuming it's even a well stated and understandable concept to begin with.
