Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent

All I’ve said was that humans thoughts are also probabilistic based on the little we know of them.

Much of the universe can be modeled as probabilities in action. So what? I can model a lot of things as different things. We don’t really understand how light particles behave because we don’t have a good model for them. Scientists are still doing what scientists do: being skeptical and making and testing hypotheses. It was difficult to prove definitively that smoking causes cancer yet you’re willing to hop to “human thought is just an advanced chatbot” on scant evidence.

This is just more of you projecting your insecurity onto me and accusing me of doing things you fear.

No, it’s again a case of you buying the bullshit arguments of tech bros. Even if we had a machine capable of replicating human thought, humans are more than walking brain stems.

You want proof of that? Take a look at yourself. Are you a floating brain stem or being with limbs?

At even the most reductive and tech bro-ish, healthy humans are self-fueling, self-healing, autonomous, communicating, feeling, seeing, laughing, dancing, creative organic robots with GI built-in.

Even if a person one day creates a robot with all or most of these capabilities and worthy of considering having rights, we still won’t be the organic version of that robot. We’ll still be human.

I think you’re beyond having to touch grass. You need to take a fucking humanities course.
