I once played with the Sony dog Aibo. It yelps and jumps and reacts to your touch, but it doesn't experience joy, it's all just circuitry mimicking a dog being happy to see you.
The GPT-3 software here is mimicking a philosopher but it doesn't know what it's saying, does it?

- stared 5y agoI am not convinced by the Chinese room. If it walks like a duck and quacks as a duck - it is a duck (the same rule holds for Python and Dennett). I mean, I don’t believe GPT-3 experiences the subjective sense of existence. Yet, most human cognition is also learning patterns and repetition. Most people use words they don’t know definition of. Most people use grammar rules intuitively. Most people repeat what they have heard without scrutiny.
