Yes, I remember Aaronson completely tearing up IIT, redoing it several ways, and handing it back to him. There is a video too I think. A prospective conscious model should need to pass the Aaronson test. Besides the simplistic one-to-one mapping of bits to bits a question might be – describe an algorithm that ranks the consciousness of some of the permutations of a string. It would be interesting to see what various consciousness models say about that, if anything. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T991e2940641e8052-M46e52b8511bf1d7bd31a856c Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
