I think a main indicator would be how they react to you when you're feeling down or depressed. It's perfrctly normal for relationships, or friendships, to have conflicts. Two different people obviously have two different views on the world and different values. If they saw you vulnerable, would they ask you what's wrong and help make it better in any way? Or would they kick you while you're down? Try to put yourself in the same situation as well, would you give them a shoulder to cry on? Just some random thoughts that I think helped me recently.

I had one of the Simba dolls that you could pull the mane out and fold over to turn him into adult Simba. I ruined one when I was 4 or 5 but my parents managed to find me another one, but I think my ex took it.. Another thing is a music box snow globe with a wizard in it and plays 'Music of the Night' from Phantom of the Opera, which I didnt know the song until we played in my hs band class. This is on the shelf next to my bed, where Simba should also be

@ Teutonic Order Disclaimer all of this is really narrow possibilities and I'm really just thinking off the top of my head with the later stuff being mostly improbable syfy stuff as im sure we all understand wasting resources for this is not going to happen. It's still fun to think about what may or may not work. Yeah, that makes sense but I still think that it's an iffy thing do to the fact that we are comparing biomass to silicon chips. A human brain is amazing but it's not really reliable or accurate as most known functions are made by estimates, not hardcore feedback info. This means that the brain is computing with faulty data and is using basic rules and learned experience to react respectively. Meaning a human brains outcome of that computed data may not be trustworthy or valid. On the other hand, a machine can calculate and reference correct data accordingly and its outcome will be more practice even if it's wrong. So in turn, if a human vs an AI of the similar intellect or common knowledge it would be the AI that would win across the board. It's reactions to stimulus would also be better and more accurate and on average their numbers should surpass that of humans. This is the bases of what I meant when I said that if one AI reached human level intellect it would surpass all humans. It's not that it's better per say it's just that its knowledge would be greater than all humans to some degree. Now onto "What I meant, intrinsically is... You cannot make an artificial human brain that is smarter than humans... It simply is not possible... Think of it like the old stateement of "human creativity is limitless, yaaay" then someone says to him "try to think of a new color that doesn't exists"." Yes, I agree, no machine that attempts to function as the original will get past the original nor will the original get past its self. I do think however that if you made something that does not attempt to problem solve as a human or function as a human then it will come to its own state of resolve. This is what I mean by no purpose and all it knows is the basic rules (basic all the knowledge of how the world works even the things that don't but allow it to search for those definitions by its self) of its state and surroundings. This would make it evolve much like a virus and allow it to find it's own meanings. This is for sure the dumbest way to replicate evolution for an AI but I think human intervention would only dumb it down and so it really needs to be left alone. If we had crazy resources I would bet an AI could birth its self from a similar state humans wherein but reduce the time as cyberspace events can happen much faster. If they really want to go nuts dedicate a whole star and planet-sized computer to developing this mind. Now let's say this did work what why would anyone do it even if they had all the resources. They would want to manipulate the AI at every turn and alter it's growth so it doesn't get too strong or that it doesn't think crazy stuff.
