A brain, just like any other physical system, can be described with math equations. So I guess we can safely conclude it's not conscious.

- rubslopes 4y ago>A brain, just like any other physical system, can be described with math equations. What makes you so certain? There's a whole literature in both Philosophy and Neuroscience dedicated to the Hard Problem of Consciousness, and no one is even close to figure things out.
- p1esk 4y agoYou don't think a brain is a physical system? Nothing we know about it indicates otherwise. Large ML models, which are clearly physical systems, behave increasingly like brains. I won't be surprised if GPT-4 or GPT-5 is convincing enough to be treated as a conscious entity by majority of people who interact with it. And when that happens, how can anyone prove that it is not?
