I specifically mentioned wife instead of a generic friends specifically due to this reason, I have been with her 7.5 years now and we have grown together, and I have a good understanding of what she likes and how those likes are changing or are constant. Why do you need god for this? If we sufficiently understand how the brain and body works we should be able to predict. Anyways the post isn’t about if we can do this now or in the future, its about how humans are just doing computation and nothing more, and how similar is that to a powerful AI doing computation, so that we can have a more unified view on what’s conscious and what has agency.
