A fridge turns on when the temperature sensor detects that it's too warm inside, is that consciousness?
- 88913527 3y agoCan a temperature sensor have experiences? It's stateless. Maybe that's an element to it. To revise, inputs and outputs with some concept of statefulness.
- Solvency 3y agoRelative to its own perspective and contextual existence, sure, yes it is. Does that intimidate your human consciousness for some reason?
- Turskarama 3y agoI think if you're going to define consciousness this simply then the word ceases to have any real meaning.
- scatterhead 3y agoThis is obviously not what people mean when they use the word. You've "resolved" the difficulty by just avoiding it.
