You call it badly written, but assert that "we’d immediately know how to interact with it as long as we could communicate"?
But not being able to give a definition of consciousness doesn't matter. We all sort of know what it is, and it's not good for a computer to have it.
- throwuwu 3y agoWhy is it bad for a computer to have consciousness but good for a human?
- arp242 3y agoIs a cat conscious? I would imagine that if you'd ask 100 people you'll get a lot of different answers. I'm not sure that "we all sort of know what it is" really cuts it here, even if only to make sure we're all talking about the same thing instead of talking past each other.
- tgv 3y agoIt doesn't matter whether it really cuts it or not. Do you want to run some unknown, but potentially large risk just because you can't precisely define what it is? Good luck arguing against climate change.
