Do you think so? I submit that a multi body distributed consciousness with extreme sensory apparatus is an entirely different order of creature to the majority of AIs who are arguably much more like their human contemporaries than their human contemporaries are like hunter gatherers in the Amazon jungle?

The indigenous people of the Amazon are both human and contemporary, and many do still engage in hunting/gathering…I’m not sure I understand your analogy?

JimC:
The intended point was that the QC embodied AIs appear to live a lifestyle/culture that isn't that unlike their human contemporaries, and I believe its established that their mental speed and processing is much the same. What's more I submit both would have about the same level of incompetence and life expectancy if parachuted into a jungle hunter gatherer lifestyle/culture.

Oenone:
But you’re still human whether you live in a city or a forest. Yay is fundamentally different from other AI in terms of hardware, but indigenous people and people who live in a city are both human. Plus, it seems like the “order of creature” line has some weird evolution aspects to it, especially since Yay is more advanced technologically than other AI.

I just feel like it’s possible to talk about characters in a comic strip without dipping a toe into scientific racism.

Comic's up.

Yay, if you're gonna debate yourself, do it quietly....

Farideh:
It's not much of a debate if all the parts agree with each other, but still.

Aurelia is a sweetheart. Most people back away if someone is talking loudly to themselves in public.
