Do you think AI is, or could become, conscious?
I think AI might one day emulate consciousness to a high level of accuracy, but that wouldn’t mean it would actually be conscious.
This article mentions a Google engineer who “argued that AI chatbots could feel things and potentially suffer”. But surely in order to “feel things” you would need a nervous system right? When you feel pain from touching something very hot, it’s your nerves that are sending those pain signals to your brain… right?
Fish are conscious. Do they contemplate selfhood? So throw that one back into the oven until it’s fully baked.
No, they are sentient. Being conscious is a far more complex behaviour.I guess that this might be wrong, sorryIf they don’t contemplate self then I’d say they aren’t conscious, but I’m not sure how we’d know if they do.
