The debate about the comparisons and contrasts between human and artificial intelligence is an important aspect of thinking about what consciousness i...
I can see the point about the difference between a thread and an essay. The author would probably need to be putting across a thought or view. There p...
I will seek to clarify my area of questioning. You suggest that 'reflection', 'suffering' and 'crying out in pain' are aspects of 'folk wisdom', which...
Are the concepts of 'reflect' ' protest' and 'crying out in pain' aspects of folk wisdom?.I do see the question of anthromorphising ideas of 'artifici...
With the guidelines I am wondering how the entries are going to be different from thread topics. It may simply be that many are longer and less of rai...
The most absurd aspect of so many computer sites is verification by clicking that one is 'human' as opposed to artificial. Presumably, it is meant to ...
It does seem like science fiction to think of humans worshipping the AI or AI worshipping humans. It would seem ancient forms of sun worship and ferti...
If AI surveils the world throughout it will become like 'God' itself as the judge, especially if it gives prescriptive commands. Of course, it is uncl...
Yes, it is unlikely that AI can be avoided, especially in the world of work. To not use it all would mean not being able to participate fully in so mu...
Basically, I keep an open mind about Omega point theory. I am aware that it may be pseudoscience. I read Teilhard de chardin's writing briefly when I ...
The transference of a human brain onto a system does raise the question of whether such immortality would be desirable. I find the idea of my ego cons...
It is a couple of years since I read Tipler's book. He draws upon Teilhard de chardin's idea of the Omega point to argue for the principle of God and ...
Part of the problem of not knowing the minds of artificial intelligence means not knowing their potential effects. Only today, I read a news item of w...
The possibility of creation of consciousness remains speculative in the same way in way as virtual afterlife does. Frank J Tipler explored this in 'Th...
Based on what I have written in the post above to @"180 Proof", I generally see artificial intelligence as problematic as being without reflective sel...
I find the perspective of Neil and Anil Seth to be interesting because, in spite of my concerns about the increasing use of AI, I do wonder if it coul...
Artificial intelligence does have memory, so it is likely that this could be used as a basis for creativity. The central aspects of consciousness may ...
When it comes down to knowing what it is like to be anything other than human, it comes down to imaginary speculations. As far as the car is concerned...
I am sure that there are objective means of demonstrating sentience. Cell division and growth are aspects of this. Objects don't grow of there own acc...
I haven't read the 2 books which you mention but do read on the topic of self in psychology. I am particularly interested in psychoanalysis and the id...
Having read the post which you linked me to, I am not sure that the car being programmed to self-care gives it embodiment. My phone beeps when it's ba...
I am unsure of what self reference entails because I am not convinced that it comes down to knowing one's name. Identity involves so much more of live...
You query what makes organic sentient? Presumably, you, as a human being, are sentient. This means that you have the experience of an organic body, wi...
The way in which mobile phones and devices can be identified makes them a reflection of the self of users as opposed to an independent self. I have a ...
When you say that we should give artificial intelligence bodies like because we are afraid of them taking over there would be so much confusion over w...
One aspect of the difference between artificial intelligence and a human being is that it is unlikely that they will ever be constructed with a sense ...
The idea of intelligence as an 'arbitrary cluster of abilities' demonstrates the way in which it is anything but value free. In particular, with IQ te...
The question of what is 'mind' is itself a major critical philosophy question, especially how it arises from the body. Some, following Descartes, saw ...
I realise that the concept of intelligence doesn't imply morality and that it is not positive or negative. In particular, the measurement of IQ is ind...
Your post is helpful in showing someone who is extremely experienced in using artificial intelligence. I have looked at some of your threads and I com...
Yes, I may have strayed from the points you make in this thread and you are right to refer to what I said in another one about the implications of art...
You speak of the way in which using ChatGPT does not have emotional attachments as being positive. This is open to question, as to how much objectivit...
Your perspective on intelligence in the post above is important, especially in relation to wisdom. The understanding of intelligence which has develop...
One issue of the human-machine interface is that experimentation would raise ethical questions. Some experiments have been made in crossover forms wit...
The reliance on AI descriptions can be problematic. While it may be seen as efficient it can be time consuming.I find that AI job websites generate sp...
The way in which AI draws upon statistics is significant, making it useful but questionable in dealing with particulars and specifics. For those who r...
I haven't used ChatGPT as I haven't found the idea as particularly exciting, but I will probably try to at some point. It is probably equivalent to LS...
You are correct to say that it is not that the idea of artificial intelligence doesn't really reach 'intelligence' or consciousness. The problem may t...
Thanks for your reply and I am glad that you were the first to reply because one situation which lead me into a 'black hole' of depression was when I ...
The issue of how far the West has gone with reason is complicated because it is so variable. In some ways, people have development of reason which is ...
I definitely think that the way philosophy is taught is a factor in why people are put off by it. That is because it can be made so obscure and remote...
I have come across a fair amount of people who began philosophy courses, often not completing them, because they just found that they could not relate...
Divinity does not have to be about a transcendent anthromorphic 'God'. There is the idea of divinity within as expressed by Walt Whitman. The poets of...
I don't know Earth Crisis, but I do listen to some heavy metal music and like a lot of crossover of genres. I have been listening to 'Black Sabbath: T...
Libraries used to be so quiet but they are becoming more community spaces for adults and children. I am not opposed to this and am involved in some ac...
Yes, it's true that you did not say 'logos' alone and its balance with 'mythos' is intricate. The writers you speak of suggest that it is best to 'liv...
I am not opposed to technology but it is becoming so dominant. It is as if everything is being done on computers. I find that it has such a bad effect...
I am afraid that I only spent 2 half afternoons on mine. I am sure that I need to spend more time in future. The trouble is I go out finding places to...
The issue of defense versus the human gravitation for war is what makes it tricky. It is likely biologically based because animals have territorial im...
I am not convinced that it is possible to outgrow mythos and stories in favour of logos. They are both important and complementary The reason why we n...
