Now, Anonymous.. for the question of the day!
>Would it be possible to make a human being with no biological brain? Purely robotic existence, but somewhat organic body - could have components of flesh and blood if necessary, anything but brain.
>Where would you draw a line between imitation and genuity? Between what's artificial - made differently - and what's humane as we know it?
-----Unimportant explication of an already asked question----
Kids are born as white canvas, just as Aristotle and forefathers of Empiricism thought of it. We should be able to safely assume, that being born good or bad - that means, with any defining experience - is not possible by standards that we know of.
Whatever's painted on such clean sheet is the matter of future involvement with the world around them and nothing else - that being information one is capable of gathering via their sensations, organs letting us touch, hear, smell, taste and see.
Therefore, all that's superior in us to any other animal on Earth, has an obvious character biological (ability to think abstract, huge frilly brains :-DD) as well as how our society and parental instincts fundamentally shape us. We can already make sufficient enough hardware to make on par or even overcome that biological hurdle - and if we yet cannot, it is only a matter of time.
And the issue of education..?
Aren't we already upbringing A.I.'s by simply encrypting what's known to us into abstract minds of theirs..? How is that any different from parenting a child? Just because the other is more primal, natural to us?
