"It doesn't enjoy running, it doesn't even know its running. it doesn't even know its running. It's not even aware it exists. It's not aware period." How do you know all this? Did you design it? I wonder if we create them, or do they use us to create them? Either way, they will come. I don't know what is your perception of Conciousness, other than to be happy after running, or actually know you are running? I think those are rather simple things to do. My big thing is combining 2 rather abstract items and combining them into one thing. Such as anybody can figure out to remove things from a slot requires a tool. Simple. But, to remove stuck toast from a toaster using a knife? Intelligence? Maybe? But it is combining the two abstract things to solve a common problem. That to me is really strange. If they can't solve it, are they not intelligent?
