What are values? List your top values?
 Values are the things that mean the most to you in your life. My top values are Education, without education there is no point in life. Once you stop learning then you are dead. My family, they have always been there for me and we are an extremely tight group. Then the last thing is Environment, not just the earths environment but also the environment you put yourself in as a person. I always try to stay in a friendly, not dangerous environment.

In the values shuffle, were you tempted to go to a side you did not really agree with? Why could it be hard to stand up for your values (Use Peer pressure and hypocrisy) in you answer.

No, I could care less how other people feel about my values. I don't judge there life decisions so they shouldn't pass judgment on mine.


What are morals? Do values and ethics always match? What are the consequences of immoral behavior (not religion).

Morals are somewhat like the unwritten code you live by. What is right to you, how you hold yourself as a person. No values and ethics do not always match in fact they constantly conflict with each other. Those are the toughest decisions to make should I do the thing everyone else would think is right, or what I believe is right? The consequence of immoral behavior is judgment from other people and maybe even lack of self esteem towards yourself cause if you went against your morals your not doing what you feel is right and it will haunt you forever.

Flatline

Flatline is about humans letting computers taking over the world and in the proces of doing so people begin to feel unimportant. Like life on earth is meaningless. So they attempt to destroy the AI and try to take back control of their lives. The role of the AI in Flatline is technically good. It does everything that needs to be done efficiently and with no error. It took things that took hours or days seconds to complete, but thats what made it bad. People were beginning to lose meaning in their life. They had no sense of self pride or accomplishment they wandered around aimlessly as the AI did everything for them. So they hatch a plan to destroy it. They plant a virus in the AI and hope it spreads causing the system to melt down. It worked for 20mins then the AI caught what was going on and shut it down immediately. I don't believe this is an accurate prediction of AI. People wouldn't allow something as drastic as this to happen. To allow a computer to make every decision for the human population is absurd and would never be allowed by competent human beings.

1. Is AI possible? Why?

AI is not possible. Because there is no way to instill a computer with emotions. They will always be following a program and their responses will be thought out based on how the creator decided to program it. It will never be able to come up with TRUE emotion.

2. Is AI good or bad?

AI falls into both the good and bad category. AI could possibly make society much more efficient and make those unwanted jobs possible by computers. The bad thing is it will take jobs that people need, and cause an anti social society. Instead of going out and talking they'll talk to the computer. Its already starting to enter that stage as it is, but with AI it will escalate the already diminishing social skills of our society.

3. Is Moore's law an accurate prediction on computer advancement?

At the moment Moore's law is almost spot on with computer advancement. It started out much slower then predicted as time went on computers have caught up to Moore's law and seem to be keeping that pace. So yes it is an accurate prediction at the moment.


4. Will it ever be possible for a computer to pass the turing test? why?

No if it truly is a computer then it will never pass the turing test. The turing test is specifically designed to separate computers from humans if that test fails to tell the difference the computer is no longer a computer.


5. Do you believe AI today is even near human? Why?

No AI today is extremely basic and very easy to tell that it is a computer. They constantly repeat answers and sometimes even admit randomly in conversation that they are computers. They have a long way to come to even touch on basic human conversations.
