If it is possible, is it ethical to create an artificial consciousness?
Only if it is constitutionally incapable of feeling negative emotions. Or maybe if it has a high positive/negative emotion balance.
No.

>What distinguishes an AI that mimics a baby and an actual baby?
It would kill an actual baby if you connected it to the mains to charge it.

ok ok, but lets drop any practicalities. Lets say the synths are biological machines, or whatever excuse you would like - when it comes down to it, how do you distinguish from Turing Test AI and regular consciousness?
You can't. Except there is probably more intelligence in the hands for the AI.

It's hardly baiting to lol at somebody just taking the existence of a deity or group of deities for granted.

No.
The only excuse is that we are literally hardwired to want to create babies.

You are 100% correct.
The OP question is kinda loaded anyway. Better to say - will we end up making AI's as a species and can these crazy terminator making murderers be stopped?

>is it ethical to create an artificial consciousness
Depends on what ethical system you follow. It's been notoriously hard to find one we can all agree on.

good angle, and he framed it as a supposition too.
bad way to ask a philosophical question OP.
>>1145025
It could be worse. There's a thread a few pages down with an acolyte of Sam Harris who spent 100 posts arguing for utilitarianism, without admitting that it rests on a number of unproven assumptions.
