I like to call it carbon chauvinism. There are people who believe that no matter how high the simulation fidelity, no matter the level you simulate the neurons, you can't simulate consciousness. I think they can be safely ignored until after we've tried.
- necovek 3y agoThe problem with that stance is that it really is "until we succeed", which might never come. So that's why it is similarly exclusionary: I think we should try, but also look to see if we can learn more to maybe rule it out altogether.
