now a days .. pc self dignose or satellite do all correction by themslef though with help of programe but they choose the own course based on suitbale condition is one step toward self thinkig
Here, what you meant by
'self-thinking
' is actually
'automation'(today I had an exam. on a subject called 'Automata'-it is related).......it's different from actual independent thinking from which
self-awareness comes and of which, only humans are capable.....
As you said, those machines(PC, satellite etc.) work according to the programmes fed to them, they cannot act on their own free will, they cannot do anything more or less than what they are instructed to by the programmer
(who is a human
) through his/her codes......i.e, humans have ultimate control over machines....and what we're talking here is machines becoming
'self-aware
' through
AI and turning on their creator, which I think is not possible..........the creator(humans) can purposely use their creation(those machines) against their fellow human beings of-course but the machines cannot be held responsible for that.......
P.S: you can consider Humans as 'machines programmed by God'.....our biological system is nothing more than how a machine works, but the 'self-awareness' part is baffling.....may be, God has better facilities and/or is a better programmer....
Anyway, I have my Comp. Architecture exam tomorrow, so bye bye for now(you may quote me if you disagree, I'll reply later).....
