So we can abandon science and adopt a faith-based belief in what we know as truth.But we already have all these answers now so...
That's the real danger in your thought process.
You're looking for the religion and myth forum.
I am actually kicking open the door of Science to people who have adopted a belief in their faith. If you can't disprove spiritual nature with physics then you should shut your pie hole and stop pontificating your beliefs. It's not up to me to prove everything Science has not discovered yet. I can't possibly do that and I will never be able to do that. Neither will you... so we have to leave this question about "supernatural Gods" open with regard to Science. It's not disproved, it never can be... so stop assuming it is and get back to practicing SCIENCE!
A computer can never be "self aware" which I believe is the definition of A.I. that people are looking for.
I said "never." I was a computer science major, and took classes in AI. It was then I realized that AI was a scam and that AI scientists were ripping off the government by promising something that could never be delivered.
I'm not sure if I can explain why AI is impossible, all I can say is that this. A computer, no matter how complex it's algorithms, even the computer Deep Blue that can beat the world's champion chess player, is not really "thinking" when it accomplishes its tasks. All it is doing is running code that was written by someone else. Even if they somehow invent computers that write their own code, the code writing would be governed by code written by someone else. A computer is not capable of doing anything it is not programmed to do, and it does exactly what it is programmed to do, without a lick of common sense to correct errors written into the code.

Well, I am sure the average posts in this forum do not represent the average intelligence of the adult population.Dude, read the posts on this board.
If they represent humanity in general, then the world is high-functioning retarded.
What self-respecting AI wants this low level of "intelligence?"
They may not represent 'average' intelligence; the grim possibility is that they represent intelligence superior to average.
I voted never. Now let me qualify that. In terms of the capacity of AI to out-perform the human mind in terms of processing information, I think it's already there. Look at all the technological things that were impossible before computers. Look at the things we are able to accomplish with the aid of computers today. Examining the results of large hadron colliders would be impossible without the amazing power of computers. BUT....
There is something that no computer AI will ever be able to achieve and that involves mankind's spiritual connection. (Cue the anti-God nuts) Humans have the capacity to connect with spiritual nature which is the catalyst for our inspiration and our inspiration drives our achievement. Computers are not spiritually-connected and they never can be.... unless spiritual nature acts to convey that into them somehow. And it's entirely in that regard that AI will never match humanity.
A computer can never be "self aware" which I believe is the definition of A.I. that people are looking for.
That's not A.I. A.I. is passing the Turing test, convincing a human that the computer is a human. But even if a computer passes the Turing test, it is only imitating human intelligence, it is not actually intelligent like a human.A computer can never be "self aware" which I believe is the definition of A.I. that people are looking for.
An abstract AI layer might be aware of the situation of the rest of the layers providing input. For practical purposes the computer will be self aware, just as some robots can straighten themselves when toppled. Those robots are aware of their own position .
well considering they developed one that can beat the chess master, I'd say they did it already.Just the AI , not a fully functional robot + AI.
A computer can easily be programmed
Therein lies the rub.... A computer requires a human to program it. The HUMAN has the inspiration. The HUMAN decides what it wants the computer to do. The computer never decides that it needs to program itself to do this or that.... unless a HUMAN decides to program the computer to decide things. It's a dichotomy.

That's all wrong. They are working on computers that learn the same way humans learn. You are correct in thinking that programmers can never write code that duplicates the functions of the human brain. A computer that learns, on the other hand, is duplicating what the brain does. It's programming itself.

But the realm of things they can learn expands every year.
yes and we've had decades of it and nothing big from it yet. Still cant understand spoken english so we type just like 100 years ago.
A computer can simulate human intelligence, or even super-human intelligence. A computer cannot be intelligent, not in the way a human is intelligent.
A computer processes information. A computer cannot have an original thought, and no computer will ever have an original thought. Computers don't have thoughts at all. They are machines that take in inputs and spit out outputs.
I am basing my claims on what I learned in college while earning a degree in computer science. I took a class in AI, and came to the conclusion that AI scientists were making promises they couldn't keep to get funding.A computer can simulate human intelligence, or even super-human intelligence. A computer cannot be intelligent, not in the way a human is intelligent.

Hmmm, sorry, but your claims are totally unsupported.

Archaeologists date the dawning of intelligence with the discovery of ceremonial burial. This indicates a belief in life after death, a belief in a spirit world beyond the physical world, a believe that we are eternal creatures. Animals do not believe in life after death, and when an animal dies (except for elephants), the other animals leave it where it is to be eaten.A computer can simulate human intelligence, or even super-human intelligence.

And what kind of an original thought human beings come up with?
