Been saying that for ages but still only scratched the surface on how the brain works or about consciousness

When will we have omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent AI?

That's so creepy, I couldn't finish the video.

[fertileboredom]

A perfect mix of Quentin Tarantino and Taylor Lautner.

[Zorriet]

its a valid argument using induction, the premises agree with each other and the conclusion follows.

but this argument would be invalid

1i am conscious

2 i am human

therefore

3 only humans are conscious

Sarah Connor was looking for this guy!!!

To make AI work you need Artificial Consciousness and so far nobody knows how to build one.

[Zorriet]

why hold machines up to a higher standard than humans? you never have any evidence that other people are thinking

its only a "polite convention" that we assume that others are thinking.

which causes you to make an argument using these premises

1 i am conscious

2 i am human

therefore

all humans are conscious

Dennett is ignoring the subjective aspect completely.

[CanMetan]

3:04 "We gathered the data (who knows what this data is) and experts are *terrible* at predicting when AI will happen".

So you're saying these "experts" you've chosen are terrible to predict something that was not done before? According to what? A person who's talking about AI should have the primitive logic nailed and *should not* act with a hollow bravado. Who the hell gave you a Master's degree or even a Doctoral degree? I'm appalled.

You have to develop better tools to be predicting better AI? This is total nonsense. Jibber-jabber. Kick this guy out.

no such thing as consciousness.search daniel dennet on consciousness
