That's also true of an ant hill, which is also not intelligent; humans think outside of the box everyday.

Does that mean it's possible?

A dictionary is useful, sometimes...

Is a paradox actually possible, outside of our brain?

Can you explian exactly how that is thinking beyond it's programming? My lawnmower isn't intelligent because it knows how short to cut the grass and it's next-door to useless if it does so randomly, because it would take me ages to mow the lawn at the right height... Absolutely, but we will still be left with two piles, done incredibly quickly and accurately, one of chaff and one of wheat; but it will be the human that decides to eat from the wrong pile...

Sometimes, a metaphor shouldn't be taken literally. 😉

AI is far more likely to benefit humanity, than defeat it; for example, there are 10 to the power of 80 atoms in the universe, but there are 10 to the power of 300 proteins available from those atoms and AI is very good at sorting the wheat from the chaff.

I think of it as macro scale DNA (the self, the essence of me), constantly being damaged by almost everything, including oneself (@Pepe).

Yes you do... Like I say, "is no-one reading my signature?"???

You've certainly slipped past an answer... 🙄

What exactly does constitute a sustainable lifestyle? And we have enough history to know why Trump and his cohorts, are just wrong...

Growth has nothing to do with it, because the economy will grow with it, as proven by history, and fair share is a purely political issue. Niether need be a problem, but "Houston, we have a problem"... I feel like the only real response to any argument, for some sort of status quo approach to this problem, is to flash them my signature, with a cheeky hint of more. "as that they who are about mee, and see my state, may have caused it to toll for mee, and I know not that." I'm starting to feel like no one even reads my signature🖖

The djinn might try and wriggle out of it by making the schools bullet proof and impossible to enter with a gun. But that's ok, we get 3 goes... I wish the school mass shootings in American, would stop. The fact that you all find this question funny, in the general philosophy forum, is very interesting. I'm not sure what to make of it. 🤔

I wish the school mass shootings in American, would stop. I think that would have the djinn stumped, it would have to severely limit gun ownership and the number guns per owner and the number of bullets in the clip, at the very least; and how could that possibly be it be twisted to backfire on the wishee?

Ironing, should not do that...🖖

Indeed, Ultimately it's a message in a bottle, if the bottle is properly corked. For instance, as previously discussed, we've been sending out radio waves for X number of year's, none of which is discernable by Voyager, because the universe is full of noise...

The djinn would grant your wish with a lotto win, it covers your dream without impinging your families level of comfort; but the national lottery only has one real winner, the national lottery. Because it's a voluntary tax on the overly optomistic, which harms the very people you seek to help; and even if you win every week, you couldn't help more people than it harm's. Would your second wish put that right? I wish that too, but don't you get angry when your honest opinion is treated with derision? I'm only human after all...

It's impossible to tell, there is no measurement of consciousness that has any meaning between species...

Indeed, I've read your input on a few topics, most recently a climate related one.

The ability to think beyond one's programming.

AI isn't intelligent... Any more than a lawn mower is intelligent because it knows how long to cut the grass...

I guess that depends on the spelling and meaning of programme.

I guess your happy, whatever shit you spout; good luck...😉 I thought it was implied, but I'm happy for you because you're naturally immune to scams. 🙂

I'm not sure what to make of this, are you for or against my position on this question?
