The Turing Test was actually an ethical question about how you treat sentience

[PurgedVoter]

The concept was simple. If you cannot tell that a being is purely mechanical then it is unethical to unplug it.
So for me, the moment that an artificial being decides it would rather not date a Republican, I am ethically obliged to give it the respect I would give any sentient being. After all, at this point the machine will have show better judgment than almost half the voters in 2016.

While having a machine feel disgust for anyone who would support Trump, isn't quite above the 50% threshold in 2016. with learning and more sampling, even a few Republicans have managed to become disgusted with Republicans. While I might still suspect those Republicans want to take over the world and destroy all mankind, I can at least think that they should get the respect that we would give a sentient being.

1. If you want to watch a mixed crime and AI (involveing ethics) TV show....

I highly recommend the 5 year Person of Interest I'd you get HBO Max.

Superb, amazing ensemble cast that goes through changes like a novel. Increasing intense, and wild yet following i's parameters within it's own world.

4. Well no it wasn't.

It was Alan Turing’s attempt to define a process for determining if a machine is exhibiting intelligent behavior equivalent to our own consciousness. It had nothing directly to do with the ethics of turning off such a machine. Instead it was and is part of the philosophical debate about the nature of consciousness.

5. That's a fun idea. A little "out there" but a wonderful metaphor I think.
