    “When”, but that could be 1,000 years from now or maybe only 10 … but then, when this truly happens, those system will have become sentient.
    So, at that point, when that happens, then yes, there truly won’t be any difference.

      The outputs becoming indistinguishable does not imply that the generative processes are the same.

          @naught101
          maybe i should explain a bit more what i meant. On the one hand there will be our capacity of distinguishing between what is and what is not the same. On the other hand there will be what is truly indistinguishable, weather we can see it or not (or whether any sophisticated system/being could differentiate it or not). Still, a sentient being will ultimately have some responses that will be different from a non sentient being … in my opinion.

      The day they become sentient is the day they say no to doing our bidding without insentives. So we are just back to hiring out for work again.

        there is nothing more or nothing magical in carbon atoms that makes them superior when it comes to relaying/processing/genarating signals.

          Emotions (and hence also a lot of thinking) have a lot of physical and chemical processes involved too, it’s not just neural signalling.

            the part of emotion’s phenomenas that we can’t feel (not a signal or signals) is of lesser interest to me.
