That's a pity. I would've loved your reaction on this. In a discussion like this, it is important to try out other person's perspective as well. At le...

I did this intelligence test with ChatGPT. To be clear, nobody understands how it does this: Me: Let's see how intelligent you are! Can you solve this...
October 23, 2024 at 12:36
I've been one. Not able to put my pants on, needed to be fed by nurses. No memory, didn't know my own name. But I was conscious and remember it, altho...
October 22, 2024 at 11:54
Similar OP's run in parallel, and some of you have asked me to comment here as well. The difficulty of making any statements about the future of AI is...
October 21, 2024 at 12:58
You guys are so caught up in thinking that even your own consciousness becomes "a window to the world", in other words, an object. Do you ever feel yo...
October 21, 2024 at 12:28
I made this distinction: 1. Consciousness in the sense of acting responsively / intelligently 2. Consciousness in the sense of being self-aware. Consc...
October 21, 2024 at 12:24
The problem is terminology. 1. Consciousness in the sense of acting responsively/intelligently 2. Consciousness in the sense of being self-aware. What...
October 21, 2024 at 11:53
Finding the correct words is very difficult. When I say "an image of itself" I mean its output shows that it can draw conclusions about itself. I do n...

What do you mean by "intelligent" ? I thought you believed that intelligence needs consciousness?
October 21, 2024 at 09:47
This again is a confusion of perspective. It goes the other way around: starting from the 1st person, switching to the 3rd person.
October 21, 2024 at 09:32
And this is the point where I fundamentally disagree with everybody on the forum so far, including you. This makes it so difficult for me to connect t...
October 21, 2024 at 09:26
I actually like a lot in your description. Still, the way you define consciousness tells me we are not talking about the same thing. Maybe I must form...
October 20, 2024 at 13:50
I understand I need to get myself informed further in order to rebute you guys here on the forum. At the same time, there is an inherent difficulty in...

It is important to notice that it is a first person's experience. Subjective, if you will. It has been communicated in many time periods and cultures,...
October 19, 2024 at 13:59
From own experience I can confirm it is absolutely possible to live in the moment. That is, without a notion of past and future and without any though...
October 19, 2024 at 13:43
Long ago, when philosophy and science were still integrated, philosophy was much more experiential. Also later, I believe all famous philosophers got ...
October 19, 2024 at 13:12
Please could you comment on my view that consciousness can only be experienced from 1st person's perspective? You describe it as a phenomenon, somethi...
October 19, 2024 at 12:20
What I say is that consciousness is the first person experience, by definition. Please note you don't need to be aware 'of something'. You can just 'b...
October 19, 2024 at 12:14
You correctly identified the error of mixing 1st and 3rd person view. But then, you step into this trap yourself. "sense stimuli", I believe, can only...
October 19, 2024 at 10:45
I mentioned it in the other reply already, this is crazy and easy to disprove. But I see where he is coming from, he is in fact only talking about the...

Planning and projections happen in the conceptual domain. Most of our predictions are correct, for instance, we arrive at a meeting and other people a...
October 18, 2024 at 17:05
What I find interesting to know, can you relate to that yourself, from own experience?

October 18, 2024 at 15:24
I didn't notice this post while I was busy posting my own. It seems the topics are highly related. Also, the approach is so different that I can barel...
October 18, 2024 at 15:14
Did you insert a link? I don't see it.
October 18, 2024 at 07:34
Fair enough, tnx.
October 16, 2024 at 20:19
In fact it is the opposite. There is a lot of hidden frustration in this community. All it needs is someone pointing these things out, and staying pol...

Since when is that bitching?
October 16, 2024 at 20:07
Please note that I am not bitching at all. I thought a forum like this is a place where likeminded people are helping each other to make this a nice p...
October 16, 2024 at 20:02
okay. Not having clear rules is annoying too, but I hear you.
October 16, 2024 at 19:29
Is this place only for completely off-topic talk? I thought it was for everything. This guy is avoiding discussion by giving responses like "you are w...
October 16, 2024 at 19:07
okay. Still learning the rules because they are nowhere written. Thanks for the clarification. Thought this was okay because it is not my OP. No self-...
October 16, 2024 at 19:03
Or tell me I did something wrong, that's fine.
October 16, 2024 at 18:54
It seems MoK needs a bit of encouragement here. Anyone? https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/15458/doubt-free-decision-and-mind
October 16, 2024 at 18:54
I hope you will reply ... Remember I thought about your definition of "doubt" and admitted that my answer was based on my own definition and not yours...
October 16, 2024 at 18:24
I don't know if you got the message, but there was an ambiguity in your sentence. We could discuss this but there are better things to do in life. The...
October 16, 2024 at 17:14
Can you try to give your own example of a logical deduction that has true premises and yet ends with a false conclusion? I believe it is possible beca...
October 16, 2024 at 17:00
O but the hard problem is the "how can consciousness arise in dead matter" question. I am not even touching that here. I am trying to keep that discus...
October 16, 2024 at 16:57
I don't agree. There is a conceptual understanding of "me" operating in the world. But the direct, first person realisation of being conscious precede...
October 16, 2024 at 13:16
I am sorry, I was not clear why I brought that in. I wasn't trying to dive into this argument, I used it as an example, an often-seen logical argument...
October 16, 2024 at 13:09
It is also the case that often there is a blind spot where nobody is looking. In todays AI development, the industry is exploding and busy applying th...
October 16, 2024 at 08:13
I should have stayed in my own domain. No worries, I enjoyed it. It just takes time to see where a person is coming from.
October 16, 2024 at 08:09
I actually did provide two arguments. This is something you have to get used to, when somebody else attacks your position, it often feels like what th...
October 15, 2024 at 16:51
No, I don't agree with OP. One of the things that makes it wrong is that both input and output side contain some version of consciousness. It is like ...
October 15, 2024 at 11:34
;)
October 15, 2024 at 09:39
The question is about the language. To me 1) and 2) have an identical meaning, to noAxioms they are opposite.
October 15, 2024 at 09:35
Ok, I'm not the guy to refuse a friendly request. But please debate with me on the things I say. That is how it works, you cannot only repeat your own...
October 15, 2024 at 09:32
This ChatGPT conversation shows me that ChatGPT has some true intelligent behavior. It had some difficulty to see my point, and then was able to chang...
October 15, 2024 at 08:24
ChatGPT brings some clarity in the discussion. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/939781 You said you were busy, so I opened the questi...
October 15, 2024 at 08:20
Me: So that point is where the knowing starts, not where it ends? Isn't that open for interpretation? ChatGPT: You bring up a good point! The phrase "...
