(depends on YOUR definition of mind, of course) - but....
self-aware? does that mean that if the program calls for some math-churning,
the computer will say "I rather play some Bach music now" and does so?
or would you assume in that (hard) AI to program EVERYTHING what a
human (callable normal or derailed) might react by? We are back to the
infinite time comp with unlimited memory.
My limited little 'mind' does not go that far.
