In a world of pure imagination, of course, someone imagined their A.I. system was sentient. Now, I know that my tone in this episode sounds annoyed with Dr. Stephen Thaler, and in some ways, I am. Dr. Thaler feels like the geneticist in Jurassic Park who believes that because you can do something, you should do it. Whether or not DABUS can create purely from its own artificial pathways (I still don't think that counts as a novel idea) doesn’t mean we should start copyrighting and allowing patents for its creations. Please join me this week as I come to terms with the idea that, as much as I personally like A.I., there are those who love it in a way that concerns me.
