Hi salyavin, it's neither knowing nor believing. It's experiencing and then
interpreting or labeling. I bet "believing" happens in its very own section of
the brain. (-:

IMO, I don't believe artificial intelligence can know God. Knowing God

"Know" god? Don't we mean "believe"? I'm sure a computer could acquire beliefs
about where it came from, probably worship it's creator, at least they won't be
in error about who that is!

This article is full of inaccurate generalities about Buddhism and shows

truncated post-empirical/analytic musings.
How about this question instead?
Can an artificial intelligence know God?
This is an equivalent counter-question, which means it is a panapoly of foolish
assumptions posing as intelligent inquiry. #yiv6277951796 #yiv6277951796 --
