But you don't really address the critic made against that idea. You
seem just to have a prejudice against the possible relation between
machines and aesthetic realities. Your argument takes too much into
account the actual shape of current machines.
that there is much more of a difference between mathematical theory
and experienced presence than Comp can possibly consider.
?
I keep trying to point to you that there is a mathematical theory of
the experienced presence. Of course the mathematical theory itself is
not asked to be an experienced presence, but it is a theory about such
presence.
You confuse the menu and the food.
This is not generalized from a particular case, it is a pattern
which I have seen to be common to all cases,
We cannot see infinitely many examples.
I guess you mean that there is a general argument, but you don't
provide it.
and I think that it is possible to understand that pattern without
it being the product of any phobia or bias. I would love computers
to be smarter than living organisms, and in some way, they are, but
in other ways, it appears that they will never be, and for very good
reasons.
That we still ignore. As I said, the phenomenology that you describe
fits well in the machine's machine qualia theory.
