How will we know when human level AI has been achieved?

Except that's a machine which is programmed to observe facial expressions and match them to movements, surroundings, and key sounds or words that the person may make/say. It does not feel emotions like a person, and has no empathy.

@IchBin: I suppose they could program that.

I know someone like that. The machine might be more human then him.

@MrBrownstone: That's not how that works. Programming is not black magic, but rather a mixture of English and math which is used logically by a programmer to interact with hardware or other software, and as such there are different programming languages designed for specific tasks.

@Tastyfrzz: You know someone with autism?

@IchBin: But if you can program to read emotions you can program to react to a situation in a certain way.

@MrBrownstone: But the machine is simply pulling resources and accessing files to get a desired result. The machine has no free will, no free or original thought, and no empathy.

@IchBin: That may come sooner than you think.

@MrBrownstone: I don't think you understand how machines work. Computers are an application of physics, language, and mathematics that serve as a tool. It's a basic input/output sorta thing. There's no black magic involved and machines are not living.

@IchBin: Depends on what you call living. It can be turned on and off.

@MrBrownstone: Sure, but you can not. A computer is just a shitload of tiny circuits etched into silicon. A human mind is much more complex, which is why we have not been able to replicate it. And computers are very advanced. Silicon circuits are down to 14nm (about 28 silicon atoms) in the latest Intel chips.
