Toilet

Gettos

Before an event about brain, brain research and education I had dinner with two scientists; I was invited to talk about artificial intelligence with them. We reached a few preliminary conclusions:
Artificial intelligence (AI) must be able to perform various tasks. The best chess computer capable of beating all human beings is not AI because the computer can only play chess. Poor computer.
AI must have emotions, or must be able to make believe it has emotions.
AI must have a consciousness.
AI must be able to think about ethical problems.
AI must be able to understand game theory and to act upon it. Merely giving random answers is not enough. AI must be able to explain the theory and deliberations behind the answers.
AI should be able to understand the concept of lust.
AI should not only do what we want AI to do; AI is not a slave.
AI should be able to assimilate to human beings.
AI could live among us or in ghettos.
Marriage between human beings and robots will be legalized in approximately 100 years.
AI should have some kind of body, or should be able to generate bodily sensations and to give bodily pleasures to human beings.
A question we could not answer: what does AI eat?
Another question: does AI need to go to the toilet? Perhaps they should do this, if only to make human beings less uncomfortable. (My husband never uses the bathroom, but he doesn’t mind my farting.)
A hybrid will probably be the future of mankind, half AI, half human being.
The question “are you a human or are you AI?” will be for a while as common as nowadays the question “where are you from?”
AI should have some kind of religion.
Not all penises of AI should have the same length.
AI with a circumcised penis is very well possible.
Does AI pass away? Probably yes, AI should be able to feign death.
