Honestly, if they’re hallucinating, then I want what they’re smoking, because soon they’ll see things you never saw before! Seriously though, it’s our ability to do this type of hallucinating unconsciously, that makes us able to function. If you “see” that you are about to crash, you might brace for impact. If somehow nothing happened, you might stand up, and stumble around in disbeleif. Your mind resetting it’s sense of reality. You would never step in dog poop, you wouldn’t want your robot tracking it through the house!

I believe thatif you want to have true AI… well… give them a unique component that creates altered perceptions with every moment online. Instead of having a set programming…give them a Dynamic Nervous Analysis set. That can reprogram itself all the way down to internal hardware. . . .

Don’t forget to teach the robot to pick up the dog poops in the yard.
