And even if something capable of all the aspects of human cognition were created with no internal resemblance to cognition, so what, it still works. There's a reason it's called "artificial" intelligence, not "natural intelligence identical to human brains except in silicon instead of neurons".
It's like when the wheel was invented saying it's not "true" transportation because it doesn't involve legs, or when the phone wasn't invented that it isn't "true" communication because you don't see the other person's mouth or physical expressions.

- Closi 4y agoI guess there is also a point which is that it isn't 'artificial' intelligence - it is just intelligence. Like we don't say that planes artificially fly, they just fly. I mean technically it's non-natural flight, but it's interesting to think about.
- MacsHeadroom 4y agoYes, there is no artificial intelligence because it's just intelligence. Whether it was generated from "natural" or "artificial" means (a distinction which quickly breaks down anyway) the intelligence is just intelligence.
