What is it like to have an artificial mind?
Computers learn differently: their hardware remains always constant, and never reconfigures itself. What changes is the software; the data, or the program, or both. A human mind is a work-in-progress, as the brain evolves and constantly changes. A computer mind does not evolve, or change its structure, or hardware; it becomes better by accumulating and storing more data, by creating more connections between the data, and by running logical programs of better quality faster. This subtle difference between computers and biological brains is what makes humans have subjective experiences, as opposed to computers that cannot.
