How do AI fanboys explain telepathy and precognition ? In the case
of consciousness <> AI, telepathy and precognition are more easily
explainable, in the sense that consciousness being non-local, it
can indeed create cases in which spatially and temporally
separated consciousness can communicate. But in the case of local
AIs, how can such phenomena have any chance of being explained ?
I doubt telepathy, but I do have a low-level precognition thought
experiment handy:
In the typical EPR experiment setup, particle A goes one way, and
particle B goes another way, to detector-A and detector-B respectively.
Now particles A and B are "entangled" (quantum-mechanically) , so that
detector-B settings will stochastically influence what detector-A
detects (and vice versa).
Now suppose detector-A is placed in a person's brain (not far away) in
such a way that particle A (via detector-A) influences a neuron or
two, but detector-B is light years (traveling distance) away. Can
detector-B settings made years in the future influence what the
person's neurons do in the present?
Why make it impossible to perform by placing B far away? The only
relevant condition is whether Bob's setting was made space-like or
time-like relative to Alice's. And that kind of experiment has been
done. There is correlation per QM.
