Maybe the key is as Pieter said to consider it as an emergent complex phenomena. On the one hand a body able to move in a physical world. On the other hand a mind which is able to think in the mental world of language. Animals live only in the former, the physical world. LLMs (large language models) live just in the latter, the world of language. We live in between in both. I think there is no reason why AIs could not do the same in the near future. -J. -------- Original message --------From: Frank Wimberly <wimber...@gmail.com> Date: 7/5/24 2:34 AM (GMT+01:00) To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <friam@redfish.com> Subject: Re: [FRIAM] Why the Mystery of Consciousness Is Deeper Than We Thought But they (AI) won't have consciousness as I, and presumably you, experience it.
