"Mind is a function of brain," as I've heard it put.
Dock Braun:
(click to show/hide)I'm sorry that I responded hastily, that may have contributed to misunderstanding. I'd like to apologize for the rudeness of my most recent previous comment in this thread. I was put a bit on-edge after reading the ideas I was responding to. I'd also like to clarify the objects of my envy, pity (rather: condolence) respectively.
I did not fathom a person who ever felt their body ill-suited could ignore the distinction of oneself from one's body; I recognize that a person might be unaware of their body being ill-suited. I also recognize that my not fathoming this does not imply that this cannot be the case. I am invidious of anyone whose body suits them so well.
Sometimes, on a bad day, I am invidious of persons unaware of their body ill-suiting them. I recognize that being aware of having a problem is over-all better than having a problem and being unaware of it. My condolence was misdirected at a person who has no chance of being in a different body. More appropriately, it would be directed at a person who has no hope of being in a better (better suited to them) body.
For the stiffness of the apology I just presented, I would also like to apologize, but I'd rather not recurse.

At most you could replicate those processes somehow in another body, but even if you somehow managed to transfer all of the data stored in the brain along with it, it still wouldn't be the same personality, just a copy.

I am interested in learning more about this conception of personality. I'm not convinced that it requires that inseparability quality. (I suspect that this thread is not the most appropriate place for a discussion of these topics. Perhaps somewhere in RELATE or DISCUSS?)
Gnabberwocky:
I've set up a thread for it over in RELATE.
Back to the main point of this thread...
...how do AI feelings work? Is it a set programming of a response to given trigger phrases and actions, or is it more like humans, where physical chemicals are released based on your reaction?

I'm pretty sure that, given the infodumps he has done in the past, Jeph follows the MST3K mantra. The primary evidence for that point is when it was mentioned that the first AI was an emergent phenomenon.

The personality arises from the gestalt of all the physiological processes currently going on in the body. At most you could replicate those processes somehow in another body, but even if you somehow managed to transfer all of the data stored in the brain along with it, it still wouldn't be the same personality, just a copy. And an imperfect one at that as they would immediate begin to diverge from one another.

One's experiences and disposition also play rather major roles in the development of one's personality.
