I've been learning how to code since September of last year (JS, Python then C#) and have recently become fascinated by AI and Machine Learning. I have a few questions for anyone willing to answer:<br><br>1. Shouldn't we be frightened that, no matter if a machine passes a technical assessment, a layperson may not be able to tell the difference between the machine and a human, thus allowing bad actors to use said technology to take advantage of the "average" person? (using Deepfakes with an AI chatbot).<br><br>2. Does sentience mean that a machine has a human-like conscience? <br><br>3. (if yes) How would sentience be possible without a human-like nervous system? [I've played around with TensorFlow in the past and understand the basics of neural networks, but I just can't wrap my head around a machine being alive and having an inner-monologue as of yet.]<br><br>Again, I am a beginner who is misinformed in some areas and completely uneducated in others. However, I am really interested in this topic and would love some answers.,(reply>), @JICHAEL MORGAN Thanks for the reply and I completely agree. I recently found out that there was a Reddit community called "SubSimulatorGPT2Meta" that allows only bots to post to it. Reading through the posts, you'd think they were kids instead of robots. I have no doubt that as the tech progresses and people become more creative, these advances will affect the average person frequently. <br><br>Many people fear that AI will take jobs from humans, but I fear that AI will also be used to scam, lie and disinform humans.
