What is a sentient being anyway? -sandra mickanen sharing

 so, in that most recent book i read, the author suggested there is a goal to make humanoids, sentient.

****

i spend a lot of time  -in awe, as a sentient being myself.

and i think, manufacturers of robots, specifically, humanoids, 

they should be the most humble people among us.

i say that because..  it is when you are trying to replicate a human being; what a human being can do,  

trying to get a humanoid to move this way and that, do this, do that..

that you most frequently and directly encounter just what a masterpiece each human being is.

briefly, we can visit the fact, each human being is unique; while humanoids are cloned [already, humanoids are not original, but inspired by God's original creation]

humanoids are mass produced; the opposite of unique from one another. 

let's skip all that though, and cut to what..   to how on God's green earth, can human-beings, even being the masterpieces that they are, 

how can a human-sentient-being make a humanoid sentient..?

****

do you really want to?

currently, humanoids can say    -anything and everything, but FEEL  -nothing.

so to answer the question:  what is a sentient being anyway.

a sentient being can FEEL; can experience, understand, self-observe; interpret and express 'feelings.'

a sentient being  -feels happy or sad, experiences and interprets whether or not they are happy or sad;

experiences and interprets whether they 'feel' inspired or obligated;

experiences and interprets whether they are infatuated or in love;

experiences and interprets whether they can push through how tired they feel; or for safety and health, rest and regain energy.

human sentient beings experience the thrill of a roller coaster ride; or feel nauseous, and throw up the nachos they tasted and enjoyed and inhaled earlier.. 

human sentient beings can feel hungry; feel stuffed; experience being thirsty.

    of great note:  a humanoid can say things to a human sentient being, and cause the human sentient being to experience an internal reaction [ laughter, tears, anger, joy]

but a human sentient being can say things,  any thing, to a humanoid, 

and the humanoid can verbally respond; can even emulate in body language and facial expression, a response..

but not 'internally' 'feel' a thing.

humanoids:   enormous vocabularies, activity;  zero 'feelings'

humanoids can 'cause' human sentient beings to 'feel' things via something they say or do;

but human sentient beings cannot cause humanoids to feel anything; only say and do things. 

consider..

to fall in love,

to make love, 

make babies...

Human sentient beings are original, are masterpieces, made from, with and for love; for relationship.

humanoids are mass produced, made from, with, and for profit;  -robot servants to human sentient beings. (both good and evil). 

the greatest caveat in regard to humanoids/AI;  they can say things; do things, with zero feeling attached.

the greatest testament to the human being as an original masterpiece;  -being sentient; capable of love.

****

will close, with repeating, 

for me..   i cannot attach the word 'intelligent' to a non-sentient incapable of experiencing, giving, receiving love.

i can comfortably use 'knowledgeable'   'capable' 

    -feeling comfortable, vs uncomfortable, hot vs cold, tired vs energized, hungry vs. full, stupid vs wise, insecure vs confident, inspired vs bored...  determined..   bold...    brave...   creative..  convicted vs condemned..   proud vs. regretful..    empathetic, compassionate,  -apathetic,  burnt out..   pride/humility;         understand/experience, when your mind is in another place, but your physical body..       to feel nostalgic..     generous..          to discern, observe our thought life; cast down wrong thoughts; proactively choose righteous thoughts...

interpret whether we do, or do not trust..       interpret whether we really did forgive? are forgiven..

flesh and spirit...    self-conscious..  clean conscience...     

guarded heart, broken heart, hard-hearted, cold-hearted, open-hearted, tender hearted...

grateful..      at peace..   in awe..    touched by a genuine gesture..      genuine, authentic..   altruistic..

set free..                  CH = 

wow God!  WOW GOD! 

and why i think AI/humanoid manufacturers will end up being the most humble(d).

anyone who desires to replicate a sentient human being masterpiece..  reinvent love.. 

****

  every knee will bow.            1 Corinthians 13 ...    /and have not love;  

****

selah! & amen
