Human level artificial intelligence (god like) will likely come soon

I take issue with calling us

I take issue with calling us gods. To me, the label of god elevates someone. It implies that we are superior or more evolved.

We are nothing of the sort. We specialize in certain things. There are other animals that are better at certain cognitive tasks. To assume we are the best, is arrogant.

We are also not the end goal of evolution. Evolution has only one goal, reproduction.

AI or better referred as SI, has never actually been intelligent. They don't think for themselves. They do what they are programmed to do, nothing more.

Intelligence arising outside of biology has not been observed. Point out one example. Show me that silicon based intelligence can be done. Show me a working model.

If you can't, it is fiction. I do not believe you. I do not believe unevidenced claims.

I upvoted, and downvoted your comment simultaneously, although I mostly disagree, or rather, evidence mostly disagrees with your opinion.

1. I agree that other animals are better at particular tasks, but yet humans can engineer beyond their reach, due to our intelligence. Octopuses for example, edit and direct their own brain genes, to degrees not achievable naturally by humans as far as I am aware.

~However, humans have invented Science and Technology, which allows us to be able to better approximate whichever function is feasible to approach, sometimes better than other animals.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. You need to provide a citation or evidence, why you feel intelligence has not been observed outside of biology.

~In reality though, there is a whole active field called Artificial Intelligence. [Examples: Google search, self driving cars, siri, cortana, google now, ai disease diagnosis, ai drug discovery, ai law document synthesis, end thousands of other applications]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. And if you think human level ai is impossible, although AGI's not yet achieved as far as I am aware, there are scientific models that exist concerning said human level ai (AGI).

[It's almost like you're saying that since no grand unified theory has yet been empirically observed, then therefore, Grand Unified Theories are fiction.] ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Albert Einstein: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity. And I am not so sure of the former."

Which can be applied to your bullshit deity.

Are you being bullied off screen in your day to day life?

Nope. I tend to call-out

Nope. I tend to call-out proselytizers that won't take a hint and actually think for once.

What is it that you feel, an atheist like myself, is supposedly proselytizing?

Already told you many times.

Already told you many times. And just like a Religious Absolutist, you are ignorant and ignorant.

It is odd that you accuse me of ignorance in that direction, and I'm currently in the field of ai, while in contrast, you admittedly haven't done anything in ai in 40 years, and nothing in ai was done by yourself outside of at maximum, undergrad school work 4 decades ago, if I am not mistaken.
