>What types of things do humans not do with text prediction? Anything that doesn't involve the language processing parts of the brain, at least. Let's separate out the robotics problem from the consciousness problem. Sure the brain solves both, but the things that a computer can't do yet because it has no body aren't fundamental limitations. We can just hook the computer up to a robot body eventually. So to rephrase, what types of things can the brain of a blind paralyzed person do that text prediction cannot? >To be fair, I did say that, but what I meant was that humans don't work the way ChatGPT does. Maybe we do use "overgrown text prediction" but we don't use word vectors, tensor calculus, and transformers. Well, at least not consciously. Really, the question about the question comes down to which one you care about: figuring out the phenomena of consciousness in general (studying humans as our only accessible reference implementation), or figuring out how human consciousness works in particular. Its easy to conflate the two.
