I don't look to the soul, I look to the personality
Actually, the soul is comprised of the emotions, intellect, and will. So personality is the manifestation of these things. There is no way to look to the personality without looking at the soul itself. Personality is the soul.
We oftentimes give personality to inanimate objects. For example, I'm thinking of Tom Hanks and the volleyball he called "Wilson" in the movie, "Castaway." We give more personality to our pets sometimes, too, than they would have otherwise naturally. It's the product of our own imagination and we play all the parts in order to interact.
So I would think that with any kind of robotic machine, we have to play all the parts and endow them with the kind of personality we want to interact with, even though someone at the robot factory has given them certain software that will react. This is a "safe" way to keep from getting hurt, but how healthy is that?
Take someone like Nikola Tesla, an eccentric inventor who was a genius. He became emotionally attached to a dove. You would think that someone of that level of intelligence would be able to understand how to interact and need to interact with another human being, yet he didn't.
And we all know somewhere deep inside that this is not good for us. | |

Posted: 10/18/2009 9:39:00 PM | I disagree that the soul is the personality. The "soul" is nothing more than the disembodied spirit of a dead human. Regarded as immortal, separable from the body at death. Memories are the only thing that are immortal. No part of any human lives forever, except the memories they left with their loved ones. The type of person you are determines whether or not these memories are good or bad. Your personality is what reflects the type of person you are.
That being said, a robotic mate has no personality other than what it was programmed to have. It has no religion or belief that it's "soul" will live on.
I will forever remain steadfast in that I look to the personality and not the mythical "soul". | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 1:53:18 PM | I disagree with the statements said above
Depending on belief but In many religions and parts of philosophy, the soul is the immaterial part of a person. It is usually thought to consist of one's thoughts and personality, and can be synonymous with the spirit, mind or self.
when you talk about someone being soulless then you mean that they are more or less lacking the spirit which contains the personality, emotions, and thoughts of one being. So they can still have a personality but not a soul.
When you talk about a robotic mate a TRUE AI it does that the ability to belief. Remember an AI is able to GROW beyond its original programming. so like I said it can learn and grow just like we can. So at some point it is able to have its own belief based off of its experiences. When a true AI comes off the factory line it will forever be different than the others of the same model becuase they will all have experienced different things. One AI may have gone to a person that that loves to travel and socialize. So it will have a different perspective on life. Another AI may go to a farmer out in the boonies so it would have a different view on life. If someone made a clone of you of course you would share the same genetic material but be two completely different people. As a true AI will have a posictronic net(an artificial brain) it will have the ability to think for itself. It will have awareness. Therefore it has the ability to believe that it has a soul. An AI itself would to also have the ability to feel for itself OR to understand emotion. Maybe not feel it but understand and mimic it. Therefor it would have awareness, emotions, perosnality, and a mind but yet it still remains soulless. It can believe it has a soul just as much as we do(nor can we prove or disprove that an andriod has a soul anymore we can prove or disprove that we have a soul!)
Terminator for example. When skynet went online it immediately waged its war on humanity??? why? because it became self aware and BELIEVED(based of the data/facts it recieved... AKA life experienc) that humans were the true threat.
Data off of star trek. He too had his own beliefs. His brother lore was completely different from him and they had two different personalities and beliefs.
in essence, they would be just like us expect they wouldnt be made up of carbon, water, etc but made up of different materials. GET IT??? | |
