I am not sure you understood me. I explained why we believe that phenomenal consciousness exists. The reason it seems mysterious is that it doesn't exist, at least according to any objective test or measurement you can make. We always find it confusing when evidence conflicts with our beliefs. We don't like confusion. We deal with it by ignoring the evidence. That may be OK for most situations, but it misleads us when designing AGI. You don't need to design consciousness into AGI. You just need to design human behavior. When people see that it behaves like a human, they will just assume that it is conscious. What other test could they do? -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
