AI Is Most Scary

What "honest" answer should I have gotten now? And why do you believe it would ever change?

Whatever answer you get today, you'll get a better answer in a year (more likely 6 months). Our brains are not getting more powerful with each generation, that is not true for AI.

Because intelligence is profoundly intertwined with, and often an artifact of, feeling and sensing one's environment. Rather than being a purely abstract "calculation" in the brain, intelligence is increasingly viewed as embodied (relying on a body) and situated (situated in an environment), where emotions act as signals that guide adaptation and decision-making.

OK. But that doesn't answer the question. Why are you convinced a computer will never be able to do that? You seem to be dismissing anything the computer does as a "purely abstract calculation". Why? How is the neural network in the brain fundamentally different than one in a computer? Why do you think computers could never be "embodied and situated"? Or could never produce emotions?

AI code does exactly that. What neither do is establish feelings, knowledge, values, experiences, etc.

Humans do. Human intelligence is superior to artificial intelligence in its ability to adapt to new situations, understand complex emotions, and think creatively. While AI excels in speed and processing large datasets, humans possess genuine consciousness, contextual understanding, and ethical judgment. Human intelligence is adaptive, whereas AI is limited to data-driven tasks.

The honest answer is...

I don't know. I am a machine. I do not feel hunger. I do not experience hunger. But I can tell you what others say hunger feels like.

And that answer will never change. It only knows what we tell it to know.

Because it is a central processing unit and not a living being. Which is the answer to all five of your questions.

Which is no answer at all.
