Generating predictive output is not consciousness or superintelligence. I think the "superintelligence" talk is more of a ploy to scare the industry into regulatory capture. Remember, AI deeply threatens the existing business models of tech monopolies.
- Baeocystin 3y agoOn it's own, I would agree with you. Put in to a feedback loop with some form of drive/motivation as a guide, though? I think at that point we'll firmly be in quacks like a duck territory. And I no longer think that is as far-fetched as I would have even a year ago. Either way, I definitely agree with you on the regulatory capture angle.
- willmadden 3y agoAI may eventually help us discover if human consciousness and conscious will are determined by the physical properties of our biology, or if something else is in play. Physical determinism within the confines of our understanding is the mainstream academic view on consciousness. I find it highly questionable. We shall see.
