That’s it. Why do you get those sensations and thoughtsand feelings? Well a physical sensation is just neurological stimulation from a sense. If you touch something neurological signals are sent to your brain that you are having feeling at that touch, that is a feeling, just touching somethingcauses a feeling. Similarly smelling something causes another feeling. As with the other senses. Thoughts can also cause feelings, you can think about something happy or something            would one thing cause happiness? Some things stimulate your neurons          other things don’t stimulate them, so happiness would be the neurological stimulation. “meaning” is just neurological stimulation. How do some things stimulate your neurons and make you happy while others don’t? A girl might have a pretty face that when you look at makes you happy. So visually you get pleased. When you think of the girl, you would get happy,           reason would be it stimulates your visual          brain. Why do         things stimulate the visual center of your           Because they are easier         about. Why are they easier to think             hey stimulate your        Why do ugly things not stimulate         neurons? I think because something         puts you in a good mood.            something like a pretty lake calm               Its obvious why             would not calm someone down, cause                                     which is threatening to that person, causing                               In that case the visual leads to thought. Maybe something like water or a large landscape leads to no thought cause there is nothing to do in those environments, cause they are so peaceful and have nothing in them. And something pretty has fun things to do in 

ROFLMAO! This is exactly the kind of thing a machine would never be able to do.

I disagree. I could easily write a text justifier to take any block of text and redistribute its white spaces so that it embeds a recognisable image. I could even write it so that it chose the image based on some comprehension of the text itself, so you would actually observe a reproducible relationship between text content and the images... you might even believe there was some kind of limited intelligence operating behind that creation of imagery.

As for the OPs post... it's nice to have ideas... it's great to share them too and to discuss them... but if you haven't read particularly widely on the current state of knowledge in the fields underlying your topic, it's going to show and people aren't going to take you seriously.

Many of the ideas you speak of have been considered in a variety of fields. Some of them have merit, some don't. Ultimately though, none of them are within the capacity of current engineering practice to embody in a realistic artificial human.

Cheers,

Congrats! Care to show it to us?

You could program it to imitate JBourrie behavior, but can you make it genuinely invent such a form of humorous sarcasm ?

edit: Sarcasm is the word.

Sure! just add another layer of perceptrons to decide when it's feeling humorous.

Objective: to verbally explain how to create an artificial human.

One way to do this is to show all the connections in the human mind and how they work.

What is one connection to start. Your physical senses you have physical sense. You have mental senses. But everything begins with a type of physical sense/sensation. So what are all the physical sensations. There are the 5 senses taste, touch, sight, sound and smell. When you walk into a room you experience all of those senses. What if you think about something, that is just thinking about a physical sensation, anything you can think about is really just a physical sensation. Everything is neurological. Including logical thinking structures, which relate in the end to physical sensations as well. Now we need to verbally explain how the human mind works. So when you see things, you get sensations. You get sensations and you get thoughts. Those sensations and thoughts cause feelings. That’s it. Why do you get those sensations and thoughts and feelings? Well a physical sensation is just neurological stimulation from a sense. If you touch something neurological signals are sent to your brain that you are having feeling at that touch, that is a feeling, just touching something causes a feeling. Similarly smelling something causes another feeling. As with the other senses. Thoughts can also cause feelings, you can think about something happy or something sad. Why would one thing cause happiness? Some things stimulate your neurons while other things don’t stimulate them, so happiness would be the neurological stimulation. “meaning” is just neurological stimulation. How do some things stimulate your neurons and make you happy while others don’t? A girl might have a pretty face that when you look at makes you happy. So visually you get pleased. When you think of the girl, you would get happy, and the reason would be it stimulates your visual center of the brain. Why do pretty things stimulate the visual center of your brain? Because they are easier to think about. Why are they easier to think about? Because they stimulate your neurons. Why do ugly things not stimulate your neurons? I think because something pretty puts you in a good mood. Why would something like a pretty lake calm someone down? Its obvious why seeing violence would not calm someone down, cause it causes you to think about violence which is threatening to that person, causing them to shut down with worry. In that case the visual leads to thought. Maybe something like water or a large landscape leads to no thought cause there is nothing to do in those environments, cause they are so peaceful and have nothing in them. And something pretty has fun things to do in it and fun things to feel, like feelings jagged edges wouldn’t be fun, but feeling smooth ones would be fun cause it doesn’t disrupt your senses. So smooth things are prettier and jagged things are usually uglier. So the entire visual sensation isn’t really a sensation, it just causes you to think about more real sensations like touch and touching things. Something jagged feels bad when you touch it so its ugly. Why else would you take pleasure from seeing something? Seriously… The pleasure has to derive from somewhere real. Smell is just stimulating different neurons in your brain. Same with taste. How would I verbally describe smell/taste? Maybe that’s wrong and feeling is just what the physical object causes you to think about. Like if you had a mechanic arm it would feel… mechanical. When you have a human arm is feels real and mushy, which is what the arm causes you to think about, mushy stuff like blood and muscles interacting. And if you get shot you think about things getting destroyed, so you feel pain. So if you had a mechanical arm it would feel exactly like that, a mechanical arm, you’d feel like a robot. So we can give our robot a mechanical body and he’d feel it just by thinking about it. And a visual processor to process the lines and smoothness and patterns he sees. Then when sees a pattern that is harmonious, he will think of harmony and that will make him happy. We can tell him what to do “get up and walk around”. How would he understand that. He can learn from his visual processor, getting up would just be his observation of other things and objects getting up, when he sees a human get up they move their legs and torso in a certain way, etc. So he just copies that with his body. Simple. So just give him lots of visual data to process. With descriptions of what everything that is going on is. Then when he hears someone say that, he will understand and respond.

Hey! It's like me being drunk! :)

Paragraphs are your friend.

Emotions will not create AI just on it's own. Also implementing sensory requirements will not create AI automatically.
