>Being able to mimic a human's behavior is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for having subjective experience. I am arguing that it is. Once you move past the "giant lookup table" idea to actual algorithms that explain human behavior. In fact once you find the smallest such algorithm, it must necessarily be an exact simulation of a human brain, and all of our internal experience. >How do you know that an algorithm "feels" anything at all, the way humans do? It must feel exactly the same way humans do if it produces exactly the same output.
