They can't even define qualia and are tripping about "AI suffering" what a way to rationalize not doing something real to alleviate real suffering of a real someone. Anyone.
- slowmovintarget 3y agoAgreed. It's kind of hard to swallow the concern of how a statistical algorithm might simulate suffering due to lack of tasks, over concern for the people it's putting out of work. Yes, I realize this is about "conscious" machine intelligence. But we don't even know what consciousness is, let alone how to mitigate suffering in the consciousnesses we do know of. This approach assumes no suffering on the part of consciousness that has its memory wiped. How would that work for people? "Eliminate suffering by wiping out painful memories!" In other words, they stole plot points from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind but made it a) for machines, and b) forced. That seems like it's asking for a whole different class of problems doing that to conscious entities. There's got to be some other way to address locked-in machines.
