Can AI Have Its Own Subjective Experience If Consciousness Is Fundamental?

67 posts in this topic

With all the respect to human inventions, I don’t see how AI will ever be sentient. 
Biology and evolution are super complex processes. Coding AI is like a joke compared to nature.

@Breakingthewall yeah but if I have a circle of stones with fire in the center of it I also have an organization, which is consciousness. My question is, when becomes the stone circle sentient. the fire integrates informatin from the external world and relates it to a persistent subject that survives through time. WOuld you then say the stone circle with fire in the center is sentient?

I cant see that.

This structure is not consciousness. It's like saying, an atom is a extremely complex structure with gluons and quarks and all the stuff , why if I put some stones there is not an atom? Because it's not an atom😅

Could be done an artificial atom, a stable pattern of the fields of reality that last 10 raised to 30 years totally stable that combine with other atoms creating molecules? Maybe, when we become gods.

Could be done a pattern that is consciousness? Maybe yes , it could do itself in a not very far future

The point is when the code starts to create itself and increase in complexity exponentially. If this can happen, for now it's just a possibility but seems that there is nothing that makes it impossible

Just because a chat-bot can't do it doesn't mean computers can't be conscious in the future.

Chat-bots are very primitive compared to what is possible with proper research and understanding.

Consciousness is not localized in a brain or computer. No object has consciousness. You won’t find any consciousness inside a computer.

Computers are consciousness but it doesn’t mean they are conscious or have a separate consciousness.

You can build a sophisticated computer, but humans cannot create consciousness.

“Our most valuable resource is not time, but rather it is consciousness itself. Consciousness is the basis for everything, and without it, there could be no time and no resource possible. It is only through consciousness and its cultivation that one’s passions, one’s focus, one’s curiosity, one’s time, and one’s capacity to love can be actualized and lived to the fullest.” - r0ckyreed

When discussing this topic , I don’t understand how could the body-mind problem or understanding the nature of consciousness existentially be put on hold . It’s essential to this question. It’s the whole key to this question.


“God is the Alpha Omega .. the beginning-less  beginning and the endless end . 
He is the first without start . He is the last without end . He is the manifest actuality ..nothing covers him . He is the most hidden essence  ..nothing can grasp him .. nothing below him or more subtle than him .The ego is the belief I’m separate from god . Because being god is too good to be true .No matter how dark it gets or difficult it gets ..no matter how long it is going to take .. my destiny is the infinite happiness and infinite joy and love as the best thing ever ..God .  “

-that’s a me .

Gotta agree with this.

Phenomenology of AI - no reliable basis for claiming it does.

Awareness of itself - no reliable basis for claiming it does.

Does AI experience itself as a subject? 

On the flip side, there isn't evidence for any absence of these capacities.

'I don't know" seems to be the only reasonable stance.


It is far easier to fool someone, than to convince them they have been fooled.
