> Put another way, you could write out on paper the calculations that a chatbot is performing to select what it says. Sounds like Searle's Chinese room. Or more recently, this scene in Marvel's Loki (1-minute clip: https://youtu.be/ya6Z_eDGPUQ https://youtu.be/ya6Z_eDGPUQ). What if I could write on paper the calculations a human is performing; is that human no longer a mind, just because they're predictable? A relevant experiment in testing for Theory of Mind in animals: "the experiment presented chimpanzees with the choice of two experimenters from whom to request food: one who had seen where food was hidden, and one who [visibly, obviously] does not know, and can only guess. They found that the animals failed in most cases to differentially request food from the "knower". By contrast, another experiment found that subordinate chimpanzees were able to use the knowledge state of dominant rival chimpanzees to determine which container of hidden food they approached." -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_mind#Non-human https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_mind#Non-human
