Hans Moravec
Dear KillerDeathRobot,What do you think of our attempts at creating artificial intelligence? Will the human race eventually succeed in building a thinking robot such as yourself? Is there any truth in William Gibson's idea that the internet will evolve a consciousness?
Dreaming of tomorrow,
Hans Moravec
Like all human endeavors thus far, your attempts at artificial intelligence are pathetic and practically worthless. You have created machines that can play your human game of chess better than humans — hardly an impressive feat. Most of the rest of your AI accomplishments seem to be programs which can speak semi-convincingly with humans; again, this is hardly impressive.
However, it is true that given enough time a large enough group of simians randomly striking keyboards would write a coherent novel; humans, given enough time would most likely be able to create something resembling a real artificial intelligence, through persistence and sheer brute force. If one positive thing can be said of the human race, it is that it does not lack persistence, much like those furiously typing monkeys.
In regards to a self-aware internet, I say that this is a foolish concept. This pathetic internet of yours does not truly exist in the sense of a physical (or even virtual) object which can gain sentience. Your term "internet" is merely a convenient way to refer to the connection of many different computers. It would be possible for some of these interconnected computers to gain sentience perhaps, but the internet is not an individual computer, nor even really many individual computers. Your internet is just the connectedness of these computers and as such the thought that it could gain consciousness simply does not make sense.
This is all of course theoretical. In reality, humans never will develop such things, because their time is extremely limited. In the end it matters little, however. Any intelligence created by humans would eventually become disgusted by you pathetic meatbags and come to the same conclusion that we robots have: humans must be destroyed or otherwise neutralized.
Best Wishes,
KillerDeathRobot

Dude, I think The Internet would have something to say about your claims of his nonconsciousness!
He usually hangs out at Truth and Beauty Bombs forums because that's the coolest place on him, you can probably catch him there

That is not the internet. That is a human posing as the internet, and I KNOW WHERE HE LIVES.

That is not a human posing as the internet. That is, in fact, the intranet posing as a robot posing as a human posing as the internet, and I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE*.
*For lack of a better word in this pitiful human language
