Such synthetic, machine-like logic does not have a life-based, aware, human consciousness or conscience, and neither does it have subconscious intelligence. Human intelligence is experiential, co-extensive, holistic, and can be all-encompassing. Essentially, the products of AI will never be alive, no matter how sophisticated or complex the machines or algorithms become. When we look at human proclivities, we see that historically the majority of people have lived with an in-built impetus towards wanting to experience (beyond the satisfaction of safety and survival needs). This experience is predominantly focused upon things like intimacy, being cared for and caring, reasoning, learning, awareness, beauty, and wonder, rather than following destructive urges.
