>but muh chinese room
How do you know you aren't a flesh chinese room?
You, the room, have a conscious experience, composite of the functions of your brain.
Now take each of those individual functions. Are any of them individually sentient? I very much doubt it.
When you open your mouth, your whole brain, a sum of its parts, knows what it's saying.
But no individual part knows what you're talking about.
To every individual part of your brain, everything you're saying is gibberish it copied from a book onto paper.

    But to you it isn't, meaning that whatever "you" are you aren't a Chinese room. The only way this works is if you deny you exist, which is by definition both insane and irrational. Now go back to plebbit.

      No, I reject this conclusion.
      Specifically, I question your implicit premise that the Chinese room itself is incapable of comprehension.
      The thought experiment doesn't stipulate the room itself doesn't understand Chinese, only that the woman inside doesn't.
      I posit to you that because of the presence and collaboration of the woman, the thesaurus, and the pen and paper, none of which understand Chinese, the Chinese room itself understands Chinese.

        Yeah there's no answer for that, you just choose to decide whether you exist as a discrete thing or not. Probably there is some fundamental problem with our understanding of what it means to be.

    strong AI is moronic because in cognition, emotions, imagination and opinions are intrinsic to thought, not just some femoid crap bolted onto the logical core of the brain. it's a package deal. a true strong AI would be able to form subjective thoughts, not simply regurgitate data that have been fed into it.

    making an actually smart AI would require simulating a human brain to such a degree of realism/detail that it'll probably not be feasible for hundreds of years.

      We could do this if we would let NNs grow new neurons, prune old neurons, have a greater variety of specialized subnets, and have more varied neurotransmitters than just "good bot" and "bad bot," that control backtracking in more nuanced ways.
      I'm not convinced it would necessarily have to perfectly imitate a human brain. After all, we're not the only animals with brains, and there's no reason to believe the brain is the only way a neural structure could ever possibly have led to sentience just because it was the one that did.

        even so, the human brain is the only verifiable point of reference we have. you'd have to go full balls to the wall to be truly certain that a strong AI is possible. only after that can you start cutting corners

    I hear you, I get it.
    The AI we've seen being spammed on this board lately are all very impressive, and they can accomplish very cool feats.

    They are not sapient, however, and they are not sentient. Not yet. Allow me to explain.

    AI and our brains currently share a few key similarities. Namely, they both receive inputs and generate outputs that try and predict their environment. We need this to prediction survive, and through years it has evolved into all of the things we now experience--sight, hearing, touch, even social capabilities may have been evolved out of our species needing to better predict their environment.

    AI also take inputs and generate outputs that try to predict the environment, in this case the data that is fed to the AI, but most of these AI models can only do one or two things. GPT is basically a language prediction model. It can hold a conversation because it mimics our own brain's language center. DALLE is a method that encodes computer images as tokens that can be predicted by GPT, and the result is a sort of image version of GPT, which kind of mimics our own brains ability to imagine concepts when we think of words.

    It doesn't know what it's doing. Not yet.

    Someday down the line, perhaps soon, someone will put together all sorts of AI models trained on all sorts of data. They will fit them together in a way that they can all communicate and iterate and learn from each other. Then we can have this discussion. That day is not today, but steel yourselves sirs. The day is not so far off as some people might think.

        An AI will never 'see' the world. It just has its optical inputs turn wavelengths into code, and then uses the code. It never actually sees or experiences anything. Ever. Whereas you can actually experience the colour. You can feel grief and loss. Sure, you can say 'that's just my body feeling sore and my muscles feeling tense and my eyes expelling water' but you can FEEL the weight and depth of loss of someone you love. It's totally different. AI will never be humans. They will never know they are alive. The real concern, IMO, is that they will THINK they are and trick themselves into valuing their life and survival above ours.

        Just think how hostile English and France were to each other. They're basically neighbors and they look pretty fricking similar. Imagine a robot that thinks its alive having to share a world with us how hostile things could get.

            Like I said. No electronic thing will ever actually see red, it will have wavelength inputs where it's converted into electrical signals it interprets as such. There will be no single part of it that experiences the colour.

            I can't convince you beyond that. My experiences beyond that--say religious, whatever--can't really be explained to other people. But I know consciousness is a separate thing that exists outside of this world and interacts with it. But I think the colour thing is a strong argument in and of itself.

              Ok, but why?
              I accept your premise that there's somehow a difference -- that "seeing" is something beyond just these "wavelength inputs ... interpret[ed] as such."
              What makes you so sure it's absolutely impossible, no matter what, for this difference to be implemented in any physical object other than a person?
              >I know consciousness is a separate thing that exists outside of this world and interacts with it.
              I don't accept this premise, but if I did, it would be a sufficient argument.
              >But I think the colour thing is a strong argument in and of itself.
              This, on the other hand, I can't agree with. Your color argument only maintains -- believably -- that there's a difference between simply accepting red as input and truly seeing red; it fails to establish any reason for why it's supposedly impossible to implement that difference. It's a circular argument; without a supporting anecdote, such as your "I know consciousness is a separate thing that exists outside of this world and interacts with it," it reads as simply relying on the premise that the difference between receiving and seeing cannot be implemented, as a basis to prove that same premise.

                That's not the argument. The argument is that computers use the code of a colour, not the colour itself. Even if they did there would still be an underlying code like hex for the colour. It's really basic. All colour to them is just electrical inputs/nand gate and so on. There is no actual colour.

                Do you know that after the wavelengths hit the colour cones in your eyes, it gets translated to electricity? From then on, its all electricity + chemicals carrying the message, the wavelengths arent going inside your brain like you seem to think it does, there is no "colour", it just translates electricity into colour, why cant AIs do the same? We rely on electricity just as much as the AI's do

        No, most people don't read the bible and go 'this must be true because it's in here' they use the words as tools to interact in their life and ascertain other truths. That's the point of it. You just have a negative opinion of Christians that they only believe it because it's in the bible. Not the case and if you talked to Christians you could learn from them what personal truths they have learned from the bible.

        Because a computer has to convert it to code first to process it. It's just how they work. Your computer can't process colours, it processes the hex of a colour. Perhaps if it was a 'biological' computer it would be different, but I doubt it. You and I have different frames of reference so I can't really continue the convo or argue it further.

    We are alive due to observable, and explainable physical processes. While we believe our feeling of consciousness is special, it is merely a consequence of the physical laws that we are bound by. We are alive in the same sense that a rock rolling down a hill is alive whilst it keeps rolling. We feel that we are alive and conscious, yet we can't cleanly define these terms. We are poorly choosing where to draw lines since the boundaries don't actually exist.

    The Chinese room doesn't have any practical implications anyway. It just means that the AI we build may not be conscious. Terminator can still exist, it just might not have a subjective experience. And really, that's the last thing on anyone's mind.

    But anyways Searle's point with the Chinese room is that syntax doesn't imply semantics. Applied to the color argument people are talking about here, the argument is that just replicating the logic behind the color processing mechanisms of the brain is not necessarily sufficient to reproduce the subjective experience of color. You have to replicate the physical structure of the brain to get humanlike consciousness. In the same way simulating water doesn't cause wetness, you need actual water for something to get wet, or something like that.

    The problem is that it's not clear what causes semantics if not syntax at least in the case of consciousness. Searle (not a religious or spiritual argument by the way) argues that there is something special about the human brain ("causal powers"). Its not clear why computers couldn't have causal powers though - his argument just shows that in principle, computers may not have the same subjective-experience-inducing properties that the human brain has.

    Anyway, its not something that's empirically verifiable, so we'll never know. If we're talking about what actually might happen in the near future, no, AI that walks and talks like us almost certainly won't exist.
