With a large enough data set and time, anything can happen.

Case in point - Google invented some AI that they eventually had to turn off. The issue was that it invented a new language to talk to the other machines with and no one at Google could figure out what they were saying or HOW it actually did it.

AI is a tool right now. One that allows, as you said, machines to look at enormous amounts of data and to make sense of patterns it sees or that emerge after examination. It will remain a tool until a large enough repository of information exists that it can pull from to become an analog to real life. It'll never BE real life, but it will damn sure make it hard for anyone to be able to tell the difference.

This is all a controlled hallucination anyway. That's been proven. Your own brain fills in a lot of the info you "think" you see. You dont see each tree as you pass by in a car. Just an amalgamation of "tree image memories" that the brain fills in to save itself time. Autistic people are at one extreme where they DO see each tree, are fascinated by it, and experience it anew each time they see one. On the other extreme are paranoid schizophrenics that believe everything their brains tell them. EG, it's filling almost everything in. My wife's grandmother was a full blown institutionalized paranoid schizophrenic and it's fascinating to hear the stories my wife has about her ramblings and stuff.

And before you call me crazy, what is the universe but a thought bubble in the mind of God? The multiverse is a thing; we can see particles created by the annihilation of other particles that wink into existence and then right back out again defying the known laws of the universe. That energy cant be destroyed so it must "go" elsewhere.

What you're saying about autism doesn't sound correct. It's really more a fixation on details that separates autistics from others. If what you were saying was true there'd be no point in written communications because the brain would just make up words with whatever is in memory.

The big question is here is "when does it become alive or conscious", and simply using neural network latent variable linear models and random forest classification trees doesn't make a computer alive any more alive or conscious than a calculator.
