Artificial Intelligence can NEVER be Sentient?! #technology #artificialintelligence #ai

Huge correction:In the original thought experiment, you don't have a book of Chinese to English Dictionary or something like that, instead you have a book listing appropriate responses to specific questions which just means you are following an algorithm(a set of instructions), but don't really understand Chinese.

In the version this guy told, you could learn the language bit by bit and also understand what the questions and answers are beacuse you have a book that translates Chinese to English(assuming you know English beacuse how are you gonna do anything here if you don't know English), which directly contradicts his statement that you don't actually understand the questions or answers.

Looks like you didn't understand the thought experiment.

Two things:

In the original thought experiment you did not have a Chinese<—>English dictionary. You only had a set of instructions to follow which told you what responses to give for a set of specific questions. This is equivalent to decoding a set of symbols by returning an equivalent answer from a table. This means that you are merely following a pre-programmed low level algorithm which they argued was not a sign of consciousness since you did not have to process and understand the meaning of the questions and then subsequently synthesize your own answer according to your understanding. This also means that the Chinese <—> English bit is completely irrelevant as it is also merely decoding symbols without the need for advanced sophisticated algorithms.

In this case, whatever was in the box:
- did not understand Chinese
- did not understand the questions or answers

In your video:

You had exclusively a Chinese <—-> English dictionary which means that if you were not intelligent/conscious, you could ONLY run that simple translation decoding algorithm to convert one language symbol to an equivalent other. But since you were able to answer the questions, that means that at some point AFTER the translation you would have had to process and understand the question, subsequently synthesize your own answer to that question before re-translating that back to Chinese, which means you must have used an advanced processing algorithm that denoted intelligence/consciousness in the process. This directly contradicts both your statement on “whatever inside the box not understanding the questions” AND also “not understanding Chinese”.

No tf you are not

[Jackmerius_Tacktheritrix]

Sounds like something AI would say to distract us from the fact it is now sentient

[IANLEEMoe]

As someone that's trapped in a room and forced to translate Chinese questions my whole life, I can confirm this is what happens when you lose your streak on Duolingo
