Nobody asked but ...
If general artificial intelligence, GAI, comes to pass (computers learn to program themselves based on consequences in their own environment, toward individual collections of experience) will its owners have human nature? Will, for instance, owners of GAI have fight or flight instincts, self-preservation and species preservation impulses, territorial imperative? These are parts of all known cases of animate consciousness, not just human nature. Will GAI agents have particular human behavior like an understanding of ownership, hoarding, knowledge of impermanence, authoritarianism, and pursuit of power for power itself. As the technological offspring of humans, how could GAI individuals fail to have human traits?
