Lightbot Conclusion

A. How is lightbot like a computer?
     Lightbot is like a computer because you give it commands and it does those commands.

B. How is it different?
     It's different because a computers output is only based on its input. Light bot's state however is desctribed by the tile it is on and the direction it faces.

C.  Given your experience with Light-bot, do you think there could be starting points for Light-bot that would not connect to other parts of the full state diagram? Explain.
      I dont think that there would be any starting points that dont connect. You could make it go anywhere, it would just take time. Thye omly way to prevent it would be to have a two or three story wall.

When computers become smart enough that we cannot tell humans and computers apart (the Turing test), do you think that computers will experience consciousness the way we do? Should they have rights?
I do not think they would expirence consciousness the way we do but they still should have rights. We created them so we should give them rights. They might revolt without rights and then the terminators would be created and it would not end well. They will probab;y think and feel but not to the way we do. I personally would be a robot civil rights activist.
