Nothing to debate. There isn't. Let's stop wasting brainpower on this. Too much empty and meaningless philosophical discussion has unfortunately been revived by recent advanced in ML/AI. This is sad. Especially because I believe philosophy could have a meaningful contribution to the progress of human understanding. It was a "science of interfaces" in the beginning, and now with more and more specialization we also end up with more and more "interfaces" between sub-sub-fields until 90% of everything will be "an interface between something and something else". Too bad we'll have to re-invent it under a different name, and probably disguise it as some sub-sub-field of engineering, to make sure we sever the the connection with all people willing to waste everyone's time with empty-talk and empty-think...
