This assumes that consciousness is not an automatic correlate of heightened intelligence. However, is it not a bit anthropocentric to presume that an intelligent but non-conscious machine will for some reason want to become conscious? IOW, what would an intelligent machine find attractive about consciousness? Just curious. Scott Badger __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Find the one for you at Yahoo!
