Gotta find this one book called Conversations on consciousness its a book with interviews on the top people on the mind/brain debate, and it touches on the idea of artificial intelligence.

If nothing this particular debate has to come from a point of understanding the long time debate.

I'm a reductionist and I feel that eventually we'll understand the brain, consciousness like we do anything else, that might take a long time mind you as we are going deep into inner space so to speak.

Some suggest its impossible for there to be AI because of the implications of sparks of divinity, or that it can be only done by natural biological means.

I think technology can mimic and reproduce any biological, chemical function, so its a matter of time before we realize AI and that humans become hybrids and eventually more technology than flesh.

Also we're maybe 50 - 100yrs max from living forever.

Now to bed for me!
