It's not just language, though.
The real problem is determining the truth of statements such as this one of yours:
> "If, in reality, neurons firing ARE mind experiences"
Perhaps they are. But does that mean transistors firing are not mind experiences, and computers can never be conscious? If the statement is true, what's special about neurons that they generate mind experiences? That's the real question - "the hard problem" - that many people are attempting to answer.
- wholinator2 3y agoIn my opinion, the recent developments in AI have primarily show us just how much we _are_ just the firing. People argued about whether the computer could be thinking and whether it could be feeling as if those were 2 highly separated, stratified things. Like you said, it's the hard problem. But i think the connection will come not from thinking that computers are more special, but from thinking of ourselves as less special.
