Silicon chips will never be able to generate a bound qualia space as we have.
Currently, you could prompt GPT to act as if it is sentient and has qualia, and it will do quite a good job at trying to convince you it's not a P-Zombie.
- krisoft 4y ago> Silicon chips will never be able to generate a bound qualia space as we have. How do you know that?
- kvetching 4y agoObviously we can't "know" this. My thinking is largely influenced by consciousness researcher and founder of Qualia Research Institute, Andrés Gómez Emilsson. Here's a couple recent videos with him about why digital computers can't be sentient. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJzBjBo24g8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJzBjBo24g8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT9tnzucnPU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT9tnzucnPU
- CuriouslyC 4y agoHow do you know silicon chips don't have an internal experience already? Are you in that "consciousness is magically emergent" camp?
- kvetching 4y agoI'm sure they do. It's just not coherent, hence prefacing my comment with bound. It's just random mind dust. I am a believer of a form of panpsychism. And that the hard problem of consciousness is better formulated as the boundary problem, whereby you get a conscious / intelligent being from properly creating boundaries around the consciousness that already exists. Here's a good video detailing this line of thinking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0YID6XV-PQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0YID6XV-PQ
