If we understand how a system “emulates” consciousness then we declare it an emulation. If we don’t quite understand how a system exhibits consciousness then we can say it might be conscious.
Basically, we need to leave room for the universal answer (God) to fit into the definition.
If we ever scientifically figure out how consciousness arises in our brains, I think we will have a bunch of very depressed people on our hands. If the truth isn’t met with flat out hostile denial. I fear any answer that doesn’t leave room for God will be rejected.
Since we have the source code to AI, and thus a
Godless understanding of how it works, AI will NEVER be deemed “conscious”.
- altcognito 4mo agoI think that Jimmy Carr has it right: AI is the fourth great humiliation. Regardless of whether something is concious, we're not going to be (by lay definition) the smartest entity on earth. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gRgoIVnjkVU https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gRgoIVnjkVU

- horacemorace 4mo agoThis doesn’t make sense at all.
- hardbass 4mo agoI thought it was quite clear. Religious people will whine and revolt and oppose against anything that somehow isn't phrased as consciousness requiring a soul. Humans are physical systems, there is no reason other physical systems can't be consciousness. But we know the obvious reactions of religious people to someone actually showing a "godless" means of creating consciousness.
- drfloyd51 4mo agoBingo. That is a far more eloquent way to express my word salad.
