I was speaking as in 'ontologically subjective', the experiencer. Like, 'what is it like to be a bat'.
The problem is, if a brain neural net has experiences, does a computer neural net also have experiences.
I don't like 'hallucinate' as description because everyone gets confused with mental illness. But it is more like the old Buddhist fable, mistaking a 'rope' for a 'snake', doing a double take, and then realizing it is just a 'rope'.
Humans can make mistakes based on their incomplete model of the inputs, and thus 'hallucinate' an answer just like an LLM might.
But I'm more in the camp that philosophical zombies are impossible. That by the time an AI can completely mimic a human, they would also be having some internal experience of some kind like a human, maybe not identical but something. But of course, it can't be proven either way, for AI or Humans. We only assume other minds experience reality like we do, but even that can't be 'proven'.
