Is Satoshi Nakamoto an A.I.?

[vnvizow]

I think that Satoshi is visionary man, genius!
He really started revolution because, for the first time in history, average or small man have chance to get rid from banks and financial institution and become free.
Such vision only man can create, not A.I.
After all, A.I. also someone have to create, isn't it?
Computers can just follow our orders but only we, human beings, are capable to create something new, out of box

Did you just assume Nakamoto's gender? *triggered* I'm more inclined to believe it was a group of people, no single human comes up with this

[Lauren Smith]

If Satoshi Nakamoto is an A.I., well then he/she/it must be from the future.
And if it actually right, then the one who we really should thinking about is the one who made this Artificial Intelligence.

The idea of bitcoins and the block chain would have to have been programmed into the so to begin with so obviously the idea is from a human. Any idea so comes up with is because a human told it so. Computers only do what we tell them to do. They don't think they stupid. They only think because we tell them what lines of code to run at the right moment. So if you had a robot it waves when you save and doesn't do something else unless you tell it to be rude and pull the finger but that would be snother a few lines of code the so has. My point is that computers only do what you tell them to do.

It can't be helped since information about satoshi is very limited. That's what I think too because Satoshi Nakamoto is probably just a Pen name, I

mean why would the creator use his real name? Its Just that due to this, People assumed that it was a single man. The arguement about satoshi being

a single man or a group is complicated enough. Adding if satoshi was an AI is more.

 :)I really would like the creator of bitcoin to be a very advanced A.I even though it seems impossible to me. Say that it was an A.I can anyone imagine the potential of A.I's developers? On the other side if the claim of OP is real and an A.I in 2009 has created a revolutionary technology what this A.I had made nowadays? It's sure that he had settled the debate between blocksize and segwit supporters and the consensus would be a reality. So probably the bitcoin creator is not an A.I and we can continue to search the individual or group who developed it

[jc89]

Couldn't Satoshi Nakamoto be an A.I. Bitcoin's implementation was certainly complex involving 31,000 lines of code. Bitcoin was probably created by an A.I. What do you guys think?

I personally like the theory but I doubt this being true. We cannot set aside the capabilities of an A.I. but this does not appeals to me that much. The number of lines of code do not prove this theory. Any human being can actually do that, especially to programmers.

Satoshi COULD be an A.I. I suspect Vitalik Buterin created it, can't think of anyone else more capable.

[romero121]

It doesn't look fair that Satoshi Nakamota is an A.I, possibly the entire idea might be from a group of creative minds. Satoshi might have had the key concepts and altogether might have executed it to make a revolution in the financial industry.

Well satoshi have a great mind that is true but bitcoin truly is the revolution and I think the concept of online money introduce into the world is because of it, and how this was the concept of Nakamoto or it end up like this without a further knowledge that it will became successful like this we do not really know what really is in his mind right now!

If Vitalik Buterin created bitcoin he will come up and claim that it is his own rather than taking the claim of ETH. As explained above he is a genius who had a vision and is really sick about how the world economy is controlled by a few and in order make that change he started this project and let us respect his privacy like every common man and let him reveal his identity if and when he wants.

You may want to learn about neural networks

That's basically how human mind is set up and how the process of thinking works. There is nothing magic in this. Today's computers are just not created to "think" in the way humans do, while running software emulations are devastatingly slow since there are around 100T interconnections in human brain and all of them are working in parallel. But that doesn't mean that the same operation cannot be replicated in hardware. We are just not there yet, but ultimately we will get there and will be able to build such networks that will be orders of magnitude more powerful than human brain. This is also the answer to the note that AI cannot be smarter than its creators. Obviously, it can, and there is no magic in that either

I don't think Satoshi was A.I. in the classical sense, but Satoshi could have been the pseudonym for an early network of cryptographers, economists, gamers, and coders who were not privy to the project they were developing. A network similar to perplexcity, for example.

I believe that the word "He" used there does not pertain that Satoshi is a male but he used "He" as a form of generalization.

There is a big possibility that Nakamoto is just a code name or a group name which pertains to a group of people collaborated together and formed the Bitcoin. However, let us not set aside the possibility that single person can do this. It is possible. We do not know the full capability of a human mind so there is a possibility that Nakamoto is a single person.

[batang_bitcoin]

We don't know who or what type of person Satoshi Nakamoto is. But thinking that he's an AI is a crazy thing, the most possible thing is that SN is just an alias and he doesn't want to show his real identity or maybe he's been here very often and just observing created threads with his name and making fun of our comments.

[tinus42]

Then it will be more complicated to build an AI which could create bitcoin with complex 31,000 lines code.
There's many thing that more complicated than bitcoin and possible to be developed by human. For example when bill gates first built his Windows OS.

Bill Gates didn't develop Windows. He stopped coding in the early 80s (the firmware of the Tandy TRS-80 Model 100 portable computer was his last coding project) and focused on business only after that.

I am sure that bitcoin coding was created by an A.I because they don’t have the capability similar to a human brain. What I feel about Satoshi Nakamoto is a group of people who coded all the 31,000 lines and created bitcoin. Otherwise, it looks tough for a single human being, but not impossible.

It is possible when the one who created it is a group or a team that is very good in programming, analyzations, mathematics and science being assisted by computer and computer programs. Its not impossible in these era, even calculus and other mathematics subjects is just written by hand and by raw talent by genius mathematicians. For example is MARGARET HAMILTON the girl who wrote the code  that took America to the moon.

A.I, the computer big bang. I don't think computer are complex enough in 2008 to be able to create a project like Bitcoin. Satoshi is more likely to be an Alien

They are one in a billion or they are a miracle that only once appear in a century. Nikola tesla is one example of that. True that it's hard for computers to create bitcoin that time that is why satoshi is considered to be a genius. He is like an alien that not just think outside the box but he instead get rid of the box and created something new.

[Russlenat]

I think not! It just a name or signature name Satoshi Nakamoto of the original programmer of bitcoin.
like us, we created our name like this forum to be anonymous. he did it on purpose.
and AI is also created by programmer. If AI who created its own program and create another program! wow! that super it's genius.

[DoublerHunter]

Satoshi nakamoto is not an A.I he is a human that created the bitcoin and make this huge evolution for the financial system that we have now. If satoshi nakamoto is just an A.I then this kind of quality of bitcoin will not be reached. Satoshi nakamoto is a screen of the real person because he wants to protect his identity and out to trouble.

[Ewox]

No one can really tell for sure the whereabouts or the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, so we also can't tell if this person is an A.I. or not but if he is an A.I. though for sure he/she is created by a human. And I'm sure the reason why the identity is kept it's because a lot of people would then stalk or harass especially now that the bitcoin is far from what he had expected. So I doubt, that Satoshi Nakamoto is an A.I.
