  • I agree that there’s a general consensus about consciousness, the rest slips into the messy and pointless world of philosophy

    It’s still overreaching to think that it applies to AI as it currently, and foreseeably stands

    There’s a world of difference between AI and what’s recognised as artificial general intelligence

    AI can do specific things really well at the moment, but as with all complex systems, going from being good at one thing to many things is a leap far greater than the sum of its parts


  • There is still no good definition for what “consciousness” is

    Tech writers are constantly overreaching because they’re afraid to miss out on being the first to say something

    The constant sensationalism just means that if something really happens, people will ignore it because we’re sick of hearing people cry “wolf!”

    Add to that the fact that computery types like to overextrapolate into other things because it fuels their fantasies, and it’s all bullshit and overactive imaginations

    The problem I see so often with smart computer people is that they don’t understand that they don’t know shit about other things
