Suggestion to create consciousness: simulate pain

[mark-moseley]

Make this AI conscious by requiring some kind of periodic input to "feel" pain. For example, some kind of input that simulates food. As the AI gets hungry, and then starves, it will behave violently. Then, when it gets "fed", it will have a memory of the pain, and it will modify its future answers based on that experience. We are creating "life" and life will do everything it can do in order to survive another day.
