Artificial Intelligence Takes On Earthquake Prediction

If a biological brain is fundamentally based on the same governing laws of physics and chemistry. What makes you think a deeply complex neural network with the same complexities can't exist in a computer?

A few years ago I asked the question about the actual reasoning for self awareness and inevitability. When you make the decision to move you pinky finger, is this not a vast network of predetermined data and your observations at the time governing exactly what you'll do in the next few minutes?

Self awareness can in this harsh mechanical outlook be boiled down to nothing but an illusion.

You have to make the argument that a soul or some supernatural entity exists in order to think otherwise.

You contending that reality does not exist and/or that everything is predetermined?
Not sure what your point is.
What is it you are saying?

Lol no.

I’m asking you why do you think AI can’t exist?

A/any machine is not alive - its not self-aware, and does not have any feelings/emotions/desires/urges.
A machine does not "want".
A machine follows instructions - it does what it is told to do.
The only "Intelligence" a machine has is whatever algorithm it is running.
The "Artificial" part of AI is a misnomer - every/all algorithm/s can be seen as being "Artificial".

What's the point? This isn the PD section.

Are we not discussing AI?
You are free to ignore this thread.
Another alternative is to raise your objection with the moderator/s.

AI predicting earthquakes.

Which could be interesting, at the moment we use basic statistics, running the number through a AI might pick up some things that we miss.

Your question makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense. Also your algorithm vs machine argument is a false dichotomy - if the algorithm learns, the machine it is running on learns. The whole point of AI is that the algorithm does what we tell it to, which in this case is to learn from the data and generate emergent behavior that solves problems whose solutions are unknown and/or too hard to code up explicitly.
