Not really.. It's just recording information then performing actions based on the information. The actions that it makes are defined by the programmer. The program doesn't make its own decisions, it does whatever the coding tells it to do.VicktorVauhn wrote:

Indeed. True AI would be when the "hand" is able to catch an object that is thrown at it at a random time and trajectory. Then I'll be very scared.
When a robot decides it doesn't want to take part in such test and rolls out of the door and goes buy some batteries for itself, THATS when I am scared.
what if the coding tells it to make its own decisions?HaiBai wrote:

I don't quite follow you, where did I say its AI in this case? I said the exactly opposite.HaiBai wrote:
