And as far as experiencing qualia is concerned no subjective change has been made at all, unless it was told as long as the naming convention had been updated in it's memory the AI couldn't even tell that a change or any sort had happened. In fact the conscious AI may not know anything about zeros and ones, it might know as little about how computers work as we know about how the biochemistry of the brain works.</font></div><div class="gmail_default" style=""><font size="4"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default" style=""><font size="4">John K Clark</font></div><div class="gmail_default" style=""> </div></div></div>
