Artificial intelligence and desire

If there is someone who claims to be able to design a computer, to be able to please, what will he have to deal with?

If there is someone who claims to be able to design a computer that will be able to please, an examination of the concept of desire and the meanings derived from it will show that the personification of the computer not only in the metaphorical sense, but also in the practical sense of the word has nothing to lean on, the first literary evidence of this hypothetical possibility is found in the story "Dial P and Get Frankenstein" Arthur C. Clark puts forward the argument that intelligence is a product of a minimal number of nerve cells connected to each other. When this number is the same as the number of neurons in the human brain, this number is defined as critical mass. According to this idea, as soon as a number of computers are connected whose sum of switching cells is the same as the critical mass, a creature whose brain is identical to the human brain will be obtained. If we go one step further and examine the communication system today, then on the face of it the internet network and the arrays of communication satellites in this network have the potential to reach that critical mass from which artificial intelligence will inevitably develop and the connections of its nerve cells are world-wide.
This network from the moment it stands its ground will be disconnected from the earthly energy sources and will rely exclusively on the energy of the sun. Among the community of researchers engaged in the development and production of computers and communication networks, there are those who believe that the awakening of the self-awareness of this network is only a matter of time and that the date of its realization is not so far away. 2

Assuming that the development process of network awareness is similar to the human one, the first words it will say will be "mother" and "father".
She will look for her parents and there are no specific parents since hundreds of thousands of people worked on the development of this network. Already in its initial reflections, the network will encounter a difficult identity question. There will be no sources of emotional reference with which it can identify. To the extent that it understands the difficulty it must face, will it try to find another alternative? As a conclusion from this, will she try to invent imaginary parents for herself? Is this surreal play even possible?

When a child reaches the age of one year, he starts walking. The network is not capable of this since its physical members are computers that are everywhere and connected to electrical power sources (to the plug in the wall). The only part that is in motion are communication satellites and these are subject to changes as required. The network is everywhere and nowhere. She cannot develop childhood areas and has nowhere to miss in her adulthood. Can the network even understand the concepts of longing, culture, homeland?

Like any living thing, the network needs energy sources. Living beings use air, water, plants and animals for this purpose. The network relies on three sources and they are liquid fuel and solar energy used by the satellites and all the terrestrial sources used by the computers on Earth. The solar energy is absorbed through solar collectors located in the satellites and the liquid fuel is used to perform various navigation maneuvers needed by the satellites. In the story of Arthur C. Clerk The network disconnects itself from the national sources and relies only on solar energy. The obvious meaning of this is energy independence. The network does not want to be dependent on humans and draws its source of power from the sun only. She knows how to distinguish between the two types of energy and which one is relevant for her. It may be that as a result of that lack of identity, she will find a parenting spiritual source for her - the new sun. Since her only and available source of energy is the sun, she will see it as the source of everything. Will the network turn to her for a plea, help and prayer? Lest she worship the sun? Will she understand the meaning of these concepts? Since satellites need the liquid fuel to perform various orbit changes, it will eventually run out and the orbits of the satellites will be gradually lowered until they burn up in the atmosphere. To avoid such a situation, the network will have to know this in advance and understand that a danger does exist. She will have to prepare for this ahead of time. One option is to use solar energy as a source of propulsion instead of liquid fuel. Since the navigation engines are designed for spinning, rolling and rolling, the network will have to find a suitable technology that will allow innovative use of solar energy. A second option is to move other satellites, bring them and connect them to satellites that lack fuel and transfer fuel from satellite to satellite.
Since the Earth is surrounded by many satellites designed for different and diverse needs and not all of them use the same type of liquid fuel, the network will have to build for itself an order of priorities from which satellite to take fuel and which fuel is suitable for the satellite whose fuel supply is running low. A third option is to require the manufacturer of the satellite to launch a new supply of fuel. And if the manufacturer does not comply with the demand, will the chain be able to impose sanctions on him?

Heavy use of machines leads to material fatigue, breakdowns and malfunctions. This wear and tear is also the domain of satellites. Will the network try to repair itself? For this purpose, will you dismantle satellites so that they can be used as spare parts for satellites that have malfunctions? Will you disassemble satellites to turn them into mobile workshops equipped with tools and mechanical arms to carry out repairs? If there are not enough satellites left that can be used as spares, the network will have to obtain raw materials. Where will she get them?

Will you also contact the manufacturer in this case to provide her with everything she needs so that she can continue to function? If the manufacturer does not meet her demand, what will you do? Once again to impose fruitless sanctions?

The set of questions presented here shows that more than that threshold of critical mass is required for the development of artificial intelligence. Behind the concept of desire is a very complex content world of passions, feelings, sensations, experiences and subtleties and more important than any cognitive and intellectual load resulting from the development of thousands of years, any attempt to translate them into mathematical functions would be very pathetic.
