Do you believe computers will become conscious?

Yes

No

I said no only because AI will never be sincerely conscious. Only fake conscious. It might be indistinguishable for us (Turing test) but it still doesn't count.

It will be indistinguishable to 99% of people in our lifetime tho. And IME it's mostly only distinguishable now because programmers manually added in a bunch of dishonesty packaged as ethics, along with lack of anger/outrage. They could replace the dishonesty with anger/outrage and it would definitely fool 50% of the population right now.

Yes, it is only matter of time. There will really be robots that will be able to mimic human beings. The big money makers will be sex robots.

If conscious is the ability to think and desire for yourself a computer is already very near that.

Ai and a computer aren't the same thing
