True. I see a ātrue AIā as being sentient, but as you point out, what we have so far is just a very advanced learning program.
Nothing wrong with that. While it hurts some to think, the rest of us actually like thinking and thatās why we play the game! 
Perfect timing and choice of subject for this weekās video:

Looks like a prequel of an apocalyptic Scenario.
The āātrailerāā is nice, but itās extremely naive and delusional. Human race will destroy this planet/render it practically uninhabitable long before we are capable of āābuilding new worldsāā. Most people in the world would agree war is bad, and what are we doing? Still warring. Nothing learned from all the thousands of years of the past at all.
Also 99.9999999% of people have rose-tinted glasses on when talking about āāAIāā. There is no AI at the moment and there probably never will be. This stuff that we have will never reach superhuman intelligence, like touted by its creators and all the naive guys in the tech world. It wonāt become superintelligent, because it was created by the people and it has been āātrainedāā on content created by people. It is not possible to achieve āāsuperhuman intelligenceāā on a content made by people who are not āāsuperintelligentāā.
