Liz,
See my response to Brent on consciousness of an hour ago. It answers
this question...
Actually to answer your question properly you have to define
'person', what you mean by an 'AI' and what you mean by a
'simulation'.
All those terms can be defined from comp, + and *. See the papers in
my URL. (or ask).
Bruno
In the details of those definitions will be your answer... It's
arbitrary and ill formed as asked....

Liz,
Of course it's possible to create an AI. It's done all the time.
I've programmed a number of them myself.

Liz,
That's not "artificial intelligence". Completely different concept...
No it isn't. If we could create an AI, we could put it inside a
simulated world, and then it would be equivalent to a character
living in a video game. So there wouldn't be someone "living outside
the game, strapped to a couch with wires and tubes", in this
particular case. Do you think it's impossible to create an AI, even
in principle?

Jason,
Come on Jason, the whole notion of 'living inside a video game' is
adolescent fantasy. Is there some real person living inside the
game? If so he has to actually be living outside the game (a la
Matrix strapped to a couch with wires and tubes) and thus subject to
the actual laws of reality.
If someone is just a character in a video game then he is not a real
and actual being and totally irrelevant.
I can't believe anyone would take this idea seriously...
Lots of people take the idea of artificial intelligence seriously.
