Yeah, and the way that you recognise dogs is different from the way that cats recognise dogs. Doesn’t seem to matter much.
as though it were exactly identical
Two processes don’t need to be exactly identical to do the same thing. My calculator adds numbers, and I add numbers. Yet my calculator isn’t the same as my brain.
when you invoke pop sci
Huh?
No it’s not because one is sacred and the other is not, you’ve confused sacredness with varying degrees of complexity.
What notion of complexity do you mean? People are quite happy to accept that computers can perform tasks with high k-complexity or t-complexity. It is mostly “sacred” things (in the Hansonian sense) that people are unwilling to accept.
or you could continue to say AI feels things
Nowhere in this article to I address AI sentience.
