I was wondering since I've read that you can even gather psi from electronic devices, would it be possible for a computer to create a psi construct itself? I doubt it personally, because it doesn't have a third eye or chakras or emotions or anything but I guess it might be possible.

No, because computers don't make psi (as far as I know). You could create a construct, and stick it to the computer (although self replicating constructs are generally just annoying).
Where did you read that you could draw psi from electronic devices?

This site said you could draw energy from anywhere, I forget where it is now...

I suppose you could draw ENERGY from the electronic device, and make it into a psi-ball, but I'm certain that you can't make computers make psiballs. Or constructs. Or whatever. Anyway I think you can draw energy from your little electronic device

Well, try scanning the computer. I have done it (right now) and my computer has no psi. You try it try yourself (all of you!)

no, in order to use psi, you have to have a mind/spirit. if something dosnt have one, then it cant use psi.
but just because it dosnt have a mind, it still has energy, hence the aura you see around everything

Ahh, but, it might be possible at some point to program computers to simulate and therefore form a psi ball. I know it is possible to program a computer to have a mind, as I have done such research in Artificial Intelligence and self-programming machines. i have also programmed a few A.I. Programs myself.

Yes but YOU program IT, making it not have a mind of it's own, i.e. you're forcing it to do something. I think it isn't possible though...

All animals are given intelligence to achieve an ultimate end goal, i.e. reproduction. How is programming a computer with AI in order to achieve a goal any different?

Its because a computer cannot make everyday dissisions, it cannot make choices, it cannot think for itself. Animals are forced into things but they still can make choices, dessisions ect. The bottem line is COMPUTERS DONT HAVE MINDS!

Why can't they? Perhaps at this point in time their functionality is limited, but that doesn't mean that they can't make decisions.
Just because computers can't purposely fail doesn't mean that they can't make choices. If an AI controlled robot is told to get from point A to point B and there is a something blocking it's way it has to make the decision of how to tackle the obstacle and if there is no means to get to point B then it either has to keep cycling through choices or quit it's mission and fail.
Who are you to say where computers will go in the future? Who are you to say that computers won't one day have minds more advanced than ours?

But, daevel we aren't talking about that. We are talking about current computers. Current computers can not make decisions on their own, and they do not have intelligence.

Did you read what I said? Did you take any of it in? Current computers CAN make decisions, the name 'Artificial Intelligence' suggests that these computers ARE intelligent.
Computers give an action based on an input, if there is more than one possible action isn't that a decision? If it isn't I would love to know what a decision is.
