Will you keep adding modifiers if it turns out that machines can do these things - as you just did?
Disagree all you like, but I think that lying can be described a little more simply than the creation of some alternate reality Parker. Like...claiming something you both know to be untrue..which is so blissfully easy to do in a machine setting it pains me to tell you that all that is required is the negation of a true statement, voila...a lie has been produced. All of this is ignoring how uncreative our every day human lies are to begin with. :wink:
We build negation into the alu's that control every cpu of every device with a computer circuit. -All- computers are capable of lying, we simply program them to do other, more useful things. Find me a useful lie and I bet you'll find machines generating those as well. While I don't think that negation encapsulates every idea you and I may have attached with lying, it -completely describes- the operative effect of a lie- by everyday use of the simplest possible gate.
