The resolution to your paradox should be that ChatGPT does not do this convincingly, not that humans are not "normal matter". ChatGPT is an algorithmic hat trick compared to what you would refer to as consciousness.
Someday, there may be a human-made entity that is as convincingly "conscious" as the humans around you. But then, to question its consciousness will be the same as questioning the consciousness of those around you – both unfalsifiable and unprovable.
- Aaron2222 4y agoI don't think the references to ChatGPT helped their point. But there are animals that we believe to have the ability to suffer that aren't intelligent.
- rich_sasha 4y agoYour argument boils down to (1) ChatGPT is not AGI - which I agree with, and (2) AI merely parrots what conscious beings say, without being conscious. But (2) is self-referential. AI isn't conscious because it isn't conscious. It is just > an algorithmic hat trick compared to what you would refer to as consciousness If an AI equal in intelligence and expressiveness to humans emerges, how do we think about its consciousness, relative to humans?
