> And no one seriously reduces consciousness to probabilistic pattern recognition. All eliminative materialists disagree. To them, consciousness is mechanistic in some way, so why not stochastic pattern matching which can be made Turing complete quite easily. For instance: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2116933119 https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2116933119 > It doesn't represent any experience. ChatGPT doesn't "experience" things as conscious things do. You don't know that because we don't have a mechanistic understanding of "experience".
