I think it would be useful for some HN readers to get some basic philosophy training, specifically on the philosophy of mind. I asked myself many of these questions around 2005 or something and started to read up and there are many experiments that have been done and ChatGPT does not change much for the theory. It is interesting because of it‘s possible economic impact etc. Not because because of any supposed moral concern for the software itself of which there are none at this point.
I see people here constantly mixing intelligence and conciousness and that‘s really the most basic destinction everyone should be able to make.
- rain1 4y agoDo you have any recommendations on where to learn this? Ideally some online course or just a single really good textbook to study?
- quonn 4y agoThere was a German one by Thomas Metzinger: Grundkurs Philosophie des Geistes - Gesamtwerk. It‘s a broad introduction with a historical perspective. https://www.thalia.de/shop/home/artikeldetails/A1000850443 https://www.thalia.de/shop/home/artikeldetails/A1000850443 He also published a popular science book I have not read but that‘s available in English: The Ego Tunnel https://www.lehmanns.de/shop/geisteswissenschaften/11974733-9780465020690-the-ego-tunnel https://www.lehmanns.de/shop/geisteswissenschaften/11974733-...
