This whole argument hinges on consciousness being easier to produce than to fake intelligence to humans.
Humans already anthropomorphise everything, so I'm leaning towards the latter being easier.
I'd take a step farther back and say the argument hinges on whether "consciousness" is even really a thing, or if we're "faking" it to each other and to ourselves as well. We still don't have a particularly good way of measuring human consciousness, let alone determining whether AIs have it too.
...or even if consciousness is an emergent property of interactions between certain arrangements of matter.
It's still a mystery which I don't think can be reduced to weighted values of a network.
This is a really interesting train of thought!
I don’t mean to belittle the actual, real questions here, but I can’t shake the hilarious image of 2 dudes sitting around in a basement, stoned out of their minds getting “deep.”
Now I get it. That dude is explaining the Boltzmann brain.
Brah, if an AI was conscious, how would it know we are sentient?! Checkmate LLMs.
Bold of you to assume any philosophical debate doesn't boil down to just that.
