You appear to have only read up to the first comma of #1. I very explicitly said that it needed to be constantly receiving input. The kind of discrete input we give it now is qualitatively different, even if it's "on" in the same sense that an Apache server is always "on", waiting for requests.
- stavros 4y agoWhat does "constantly receiving input" mean? How would a program whose input is text be constantly receiving input? What would you expect it to receive?

- danaris 4y agoWell, I think that's part of the problem, isn't it? If an AI's only input is text, I'm not sure it can meaningfully be conscious, because of the discrete nature of text. Note that I'm not sure it can't—someone may come up with a way to make such a thing work that I haven't imagined—but I think that's an important part of why I doubt the fundamental ability of current-gen AIs to come close to the threshold for consciousness.
