But the question is when and from where does “experiencing things” (qualia) arise. When does calculation become sensation?

- joeberon 5y agoThose same people might say that it is just the experience of "being the computer" rather than seeing it from afar. But I don't know, because personally it isn't an argument I find convincing. As an aside, I think you have to be a bit arrogant or closed minded to assert that they actually can see the problem. I really don't think my wife is lying or being nefarious when she says she doesn't see a problem. I trust her and others when they say they don't see a problem.
- GonzaloRizzo 5y agoSo if there's such a thing as "being the computer" could we say that a computer experiences qualia and it is somewhat conscious?
- joeberon 5y agoYes, people who believe that consciousness is an emergent property of sufficiently complicated systems would say that a sufficiently complicated computer experiences qualia and is conscious.
