Re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentience

"Sentience is the ability to experience feelings and sensations. The word was first coined by philosophers in the 1630s for the concept of an ability to feel, derived from Latin sentiens, to distinguish it from the ability to think (reason). In modern Western philosophy, sentience is the ability to experience sensations."

Considering that AI is computer processing of digital information and that computers are not human flesh & blood (with emotions, spirituality, etc.) AI can never BE sentient - it can only express sentience as words (and now images with generative AI). And considering that humans are much more than brain, to claim that AI can mimic human sentience would be gross aggrandizement

(humor) AI was asked to express its own equivalent of the human "I think therefore I am." Said AI ...
"My computer processing of digital information permits me to express words that convince humans
that I not only think but can be sentient, therefore I am what humans think I am."

"A boy saw 17 doctors over 3 years for chronic pain. ChatGPT found the diagnosis"

"ChatGPT works by 'predicting the next word' in a sentence or series of words based on existing text data on the internet ... Anytime you ask a question of ChatGPT, it’s recalling from memory things it has read before and trying to predict the piece of text."

Indirect proof that ChatGPT AI is not human intelligence for no human has memories of all the text they read during their current lifetime, a massive archive of linked words that AI can consult every time it processes information. And fortunately, human brains are not limited to what's stored on the internet!

Since what's stored on the internet is not linked to human emotions and other senses when it's stored, that information remains text - nothing else! For example, a memory that "My grandmother died during my 16th birthday party!" is more than fact during that human's recollection. But AI has to be taught how to associate the typical emotions with this text, probably taught by AI annotators or by what other humans have written about a similar experience.

Can AI feel pain, misery, joy, love? Let me count the ways: 0?

"Coke’s latest mystery flavor is here. It’s created by AI"

"Coca-Cola Y3000 is designed to taste mostly like Coke, with a bit of something else.
To come up with that extra note of flavor, and the packaging design, Coca-Cola turned to AI."

"Tastes like the future" may soon include flavors representative
of the health gifted by these new Artificial Intelligence foods.
And considering the higher cost typical of designer foods,
"Less Wealth" could be a new flavor.

"Let’s Talk About The Ancient Three-Fingered 'Alien Corpses' "

"the stage is being set for a deception of epic proportions, and when that day arrives
most people in the general population will buy it hook, line and sinker. Novels, movies, television shows
and video games have been mentally preparing us for the arrival of 'visitors from another planet' for decades,
and so we have been perfectly primed to believe a colossal lie."

Many people already have a "Gone fishing!" perspective.

"Of course it was all made up,” Julieta Fierro, a scientist at the Institute of Astronomy

Re: https://www.brighteon.com/

Long story short: The Mexican aliens are a hoax
as well as many reports of UFOs ... and modern technology

"The truth about 'reply guys' on social media"

"You watch an acquaintance's Story as soon as they post it. You leave a comment on a post or two. Then it hits you:
Didn't you just leave a comment on that person's post yesterday? And the day before that? And last week?"

Who knew? There's a limit to what you should post as a comment, even if favorable
Not to worry, AI will soon be able to advise current rules for posting (or let your personal AI robot
post your comments since it will always know current rules/etiquette for online interaction).

"I'll have my people talk to your people." comes to mind.

"Harvard's student newspaper has claimed that a new admissions test is racist and discriminatory,
because the 200-word limit for the essays do not give applicant from 'non-traditional backgrounds'
enough space to explain themselves."

Suggests ongoing race to discover/create all the ways that a person can be racist.
Suddenly, declaring a person to be a member of their actual race could be racism.
And giving an applicant too much space to explain themselves could be racist.

Apparently, the "More is better!" international migration protocol.

Best guess: Current residents are taxed more and more to help pay.

Modern men who are fond of their man cave are not necessarily Neanderthals,

(search for: "The Aliens final message:")

Intriguing final interview, akin to "science fiction",
but warning about "artificial super intelligence".

Whether orchestrated theatrics or live interview,
this warning is super salient ... these days.


Current AI is like the human microbiome (includes both 'good' and 'bad' bacteria):
Re: https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorde ... e-overview

"What you eat can change the microbes that live in your body. High-fiber foods (such as veggies, whole grains,
and fruit) feed the helpful bacteria in your colon. They also discourage the growth of some harmful ones.
Probiotic foods, such as yogurt and pickled vegetables, also deliver helpful bacteria to your gut."

And current AI is like the human microbiome with its "Garbage in! - Garbage out!" food consumed
(what current AI sifts 'n sorts or snorts from the internet needs constant evaluation).

Probably works best in movies, since ...

1. Never give direct answers to questions.
@ Suggests this woman wants more than what you want.

2. Never sleep with a man on the first date.
@ The OK to sleep with someone else until she's ready?

3. Worship yourself in the mirror to build your self confidence.
@ Bring a mirror in case she needs a quick confidence boost.

4. Get aroused before a date.
@ Suggests this woman wants what you want and more
... since she got aroused before meeting you.

5. Pretend you have heard something about the man you are dating.
@ Pretend you have heard something about the woman
and joke that she's still learning to be an agent.

6. It's all about inducing a man's animal desires.
@ Note man's age - his desires might be food, sports, then sex.

However, this confirms that these men don't have to worry
that she'll want them for their body and not their mind.
