The only way a human can understand the meaning of the picture is because they are looking for a very specific pattern. Most people are now aware that google likes to fool around with their logo on special occasions, so they tend to be looking for it, as well. If an AI were looking for the google pattern, I doubt that it would have much trouble finding it. It just a matter of looking for shapes rather than specific bit patterns. Machines can already do this sort of generalization.See todays Google first page. Any intelligent human can understand the intented meaning.

So you took the fact that humans can currently do something that machines may have trouble with and arbitrarily extrapolated to the indefinite future?
I wonder what horse handlers thought about early cars.
I wonder what mathematicians thought about early computers doing math.
I wonder what Kasparov thought about a computer playing chess.
I wonder what you thought about the usefulness of the early internet.

I have a question for the people here. Why would anybody even want machines to have a conscience like a human? I can see the reason for making vastly intelligent machines that can find cures for diseases and other things but I don't see a point in making a machine that has a "human like conscience".

Because we haven't yet really figured out what intelligence is... Like Ray Kurzweil says we seem a lot like the animal kingdom, but then we also recognise this fundamental difference, so we really only have one example of intelligence and that is our brains. So whilst we're figuring out how or why human consciousness is intelligent, the best thing we can do is try and copy what nature has produced for us already.I have a question for the people here.

Good point. We either need something more or less intelligent than we are. If we just want human intelligence we can already produce it in about 9 months.I have a question for the people here.

At the end the host said, "well, if the AI grows too powerful we can just shut it off". Not true. Even the Unabomber figured out (a couple decades ago) that we won't ever be able to "shut it off" (without causing a mass die-off of humans).

except maybe those complex abstract CAPTCHA pictures. I actually hope machines never have the ability to read abstract pictures because then spam bots will be more of a problem.
