We have very little understanding of how "thoughts" work when it comes to humans Is that even correct? We may have little understanding of how our low-level hardware works. But as a participant of therapy I’m pretty sure we know how thoughts work on a programmable level. How words, visuals and so on trigger associated emotions, which resurface memories, which induce [in]action of different sorts. That’s basically what people work with between sessions. I’ve fixed things in me this way - disassembled them into basic parts and reassembled in a way that seemed useful. Someone may have no clue how they think, but with nominal intelligence, trained self-perception, basic understanding of therapy methods and professional help everyone can do that. Btw, I think “therapy” is an absolutely horrible term for it. It should be called “mind management”, but the way we come to it is usually long-term traumatic, thus it’s “therapy”. To be clear, I’m not arguing with your main line, just adding that the difference between a human and a model you’re describing is not only huge, but also pretty defined. I [want to] believe that in a relatively near future AI companies will be able to connect different models to work together alike to what we know about our minds, because that will make a good thread, and philosophers itt will finally face their nightmares for real (:agitated sardonic face emoji:)
