    AI and Artificial Life forms

    I'm curious, what's the daoist and buddhist viewpoints regarding artificial intelligence and created life forms? Do they consider them as living beings?

    Something tells me that Laozi and Zhuangzi didn't ever encounter either.

    Probably not considered life forms because they don't have a soul or aren't conscious.

    I was going to say it is about time.

    did we not create enough weapons to destroy lives and our planet?

    such as doomsday A bomb, H bomb etc.

    when are we going to heal or create lives instead?

    --

    life must come from life. or via evolution, god loses.

    life may be created, then, god or christian wins.

    --

    daoist views, one thing must be destroyed to create another thing (life).

    buddhist views, life forms are only a stage in the big wheel of re incarnation.

    --

    the consciousness is more important than our physic body/forms.

    --

    what is nature?

    are we going against the nature or not?

    that is the big question.

    nevermind all that. At what time during its assembly is it considered alive?
    If you decide not to complete its assembly, you are aborting the project.
    Abortion is murder!
    I don't know if any of you have seen these projects while they are in their embryonic state, but they already have little gears and servos, and fully formed circuits.
    When they abort these projects, they don't just dismantle them, they tear their chassis apart. THEY LITTERALLY TEAR THOSE LITTLE CHASSIS APART, and then they disgard them and simply throw them in the bin. Just a pile of wire and semiconductors to them.
    And these technicians, these monsters, will do this up untill the project is nearly completed, worse still, I have heard that if a project does not meet their standards, they are destroyed even then!
    Where do you draw the line? These technicians need to be stopped.
    I for one, plan on getting a bunch of good Christians together and getting some signs with graphic pictures of these partial projects, and parading up and down the street, right in front of the factories where they do this abomination.

    I would go with popular theory and say after a certain level of self-reference, which begats meta-thought, which begats meta-meta-thought, ad infinitum.

    what is the difference between artificial life and created lifeforms? we biogenetically engineer corn, yet we still call it food. we artificially insemeninate cows, humans, and other species... even mankind is a created lifeform.
    Do they consider them as living beings?
    breathe air... be alive. this is a near borderline ridiculous question...
