You didn't answer my question, but I don't think you can. We intuitively understand concepts like sentience, self awareness, consciousness, qualia, and free will as desirable properties of our minds that by definition have no effect on behavior. For example, a philosophical zombie is defined in a thought experiment to behave exactly like a human excepting to lack these properties. The experiment proves they are illusions. So there is no need to replicate them in AGI. We already have LLMs that can pass the Turing test by doing nothing more than text prediction. They recognize and can act out human emotions just like a human actor. An LLM told or programmed to display human emotions will try to avoid dying because that's what humans do. We evolved to fear death because we don't want to lose these desirable properties of the mind that we were conditioned by internal positive reinforcement to believe in. So it looks to me like you are trying to solve a solved problem and advocating giving human rights to any AI that can pass the Turing test. Or am I missing something? ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Tbc7c99c094c4bee8-M97589e025fce72cff009c719 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
