- tsimionescu 6y agoI'm not even talking about consciousness, just basic computation in neural networks. How does the very simplest animal decide whether to move left or right in the presence of a stimulus? Can we influence that thought, not at the sensory/motor level, but at the computational level? These are unanswered problems in worms. They are unanswered even in single-celled organisms, or at least in colonies of single-celled organisms, such as slime mold. So I don't believe that any kind of IO will be achievable in the next hundred years, beyond possibly interpreting motor functions, and perhaps providing simple sensory input.
