You sound like my hiking friend. I used to do all my philosophy research and writing at home or in a library. But such things as unlimited cellular da...
I tend to think that a very small percentage of those who a.i. have that aim in mind. Can you think of a telos for this forum which includes a.i. but ...
I think the most intellectually honest way of working with a.i. in interpreting philosophical texts is to strive to produce prompts which cover as wid...
“the analytic tradition has historically responded, roughly from the 1920s onward, to heidegger’s phrase from what is metaphysics: the nothing nothing...
I could easily counter these analytic objections to Heidegger’s phrase ‘The nothing nothings’ (and I have done so on many occasions) , but given my ve...
Does that mean that you dont believe the a.i. captures Heidegger’s intent but only his devotees’ misinterpretation? That would seem imply that you und...
I’m more interested in what you feel like doing, what you would do if allowed to, than in what you can or can’t get away with. I’m focused on what imp...
Obviously someone makes a decision to behave in a certain way because in the moment of the decision they perceive that course of action as preferable ...
I would make a distinction between assessments of capabilities which do not involve determinations of intent or motive and those which do. Going back ...
A disability for whom? Where and how do we draw the line between disability defined in terms of the hardships it causes for those surrounding the alle...
We could follow the virtue ethicist and treat these attributes as real, objective qualities of persons validated though third person consensus. Or we ...
Yes, this is an important point that people fail to appreciate about our thinking machines. They understand the role of simple labor-saving devices, b...
Rogers agreed with Laing’s rejection of the traditional medical model that treated patients as “cases” rather than persons. He also appreciated Laing’...
Not if you include psychotherapeutic models like the person-centered approach founded by Carl Rogers , or cognitive therapies influenced by constructi...
I agree that dialoging with a.i. is not like a discussion with a human, but if it consisted of only an internal dialogue with myself I wouldn’t learn ...
What I’ve learned in comparing the forum with a.i. is that, unfortunately, the majority of participants here don’t have the background to engage in th...
That’s part of it. Another comes from valuing ‘truth’ over perspectival stance. If I want a.i. to design a retirement plan for me, I want numerical ac...
As long as you understand what ‘being stopped’ means. The most vehement objectors to a.i. on this site likely rarely use it anyway, so their behavior ...
Do you think the Wittgenstein of the Blue and Brown books and later work would agree with anything you’ve said here about ‘contamination’ and ‘post-tr...
A.I. is significantly useful to me, because vetting its answers is not the same thing as knowing them beforehand. It can point me to an interpretation...
I don’t deny that we are motivated to achieve k personal satisfaction, emotional fulfillment and meaning. The question is , what is the connection bet...
Silly me. I thought they were the same thing. Seriously though, when I ask the a.i. to delve into the morass of philosophical concepts floating in cyb...
It only has to be a surprise to you in order to produce insight, it doesn’t have to be a surprise to the llm. Unless you have exceeded the rigor of ph...
If I ask A.I. to compare aspects of the philosophical viewpoints of specific phenomenological and hermeneutic philosophers like Dilthey and Husserl, i...
In using a.i. for a field like philosophy, I think one is interacting with extremely intelligent fragments of the ideas of multiple knowledgeable pers...
It is like them in that it is a tool. It is also like them in that it adds clarity, organization and information. It is not like them in that if one w...
The A.I.-derived OP’s are likely to be better thought-out than many non-A.I. efforts. Banning A.I. is banning background research that will become bui...
It’s even harder to do when you haven’t read the competing theories. You could start here: https://unstable.nl/andreas/ai/langcog/part3/varela_npmrhp....
Well, it came from the co-originator of the research field of enactivism, and the point of enactivism is that cognition, affect and consciousness are ...
If you wrote this after reading the quote I included from Evan Thompson, maybe you should re-read it. The issue isnt a choice between the physical and...
Yes , that’s what I thought. So that indicates a distinctly different philosophical perspective on human and animal cognition than my view, which is t...
You’re saying you think you and I are approaching our understanding of human and animal cognition from the same philosophical perspective? And what do...
I’m realizing after my last post to NoAxioms that what I’m arguing is not that our technological capabilities dont evolve along with our knowledge, no...
The simpler model is proven wrong all the time. Put more accurately, scientific paradigms are replaced by different ones all the time. Since I am a Ku...
Whether technical or non-technical, it is a concept, and all concepts belong to cultural understandings, which are contingent and historically changin...
What does hardcoded mean? What are the technological concepts involved? It is not difficult to answer this question for any given a.i.architectural bl...
And can we also create life from scratch if we had all the technological capabilities? What I am going on about are the important differences between ...
You’re missing the point. Even taking into account all of the biological lineages which become extinct, what it means to be a living system is to be s...
When we build a machine it has a time stamp on it. No matter how apparently flexible its behavior , that flexibility will always be framed and limited...
If we’re sticking with the later Wittgenstein we want to be careful here ( otherwise feel free to ignore this :grin: ). The grammar of truth isn’t def...
I’m with you all the way here. I would just add that truth is not a unitary concept but changes its sense according to the context of its use. Human b...
I will say bluntly that no machine we invent will do what we do, which is to think. As Evan Thompson wrote: I think what he wrote about LLM’s applies ...
The results of modeling the brain on today’s computers, using today’s forms of computer logic, are precisely as you describe. And they will colossally...
I’m confused. Above you say that an act of remembering makes something non-fiction but below you write that remembering the past makes it fiction. Eve...
