Jeroen Lanier in his book "You Are Not a Gadget" uses the example of a MIDI file: they can describe music, but even though they sound like the real thing, they are limited by the digital world. E.g. according to ChatGPT the minimum interval between 2 MIDI messages is 0.77 milliseconds.
And then he asks what sort of limitations might we have if our minds are software, and how would we not notice it?
- latexr 2y ago> according to ChatGPT the minimum interval between 2 MIDI messages is 0.77 milliseconds. Thank you for stating your source. However, ChatGPT isn’t deterministic. I asked it the same thing and it responded it depends on several factors, including the MIDI protocol version and the device or software used, and that the minimum between two messages is between 1 and 2 milliseconds. Which of those is true? Perhaps neither. A quick web search didn’t provide a straightforward answer. Point being that we should avoid propagating even more wrong information, especially since it’s not relevant to your point (which makes sense).
