The latest neural network models are brilliant at mimicking aspects of cognition, but mistaking that for explaining consciousness is like confusing a weather simulation with the storm itself. We still lack even a theory of how subjective experience arises from computation. #neuroscience #consciousness #AI

@gusseting@mastodon.social @toxi@mastodon.thi.ng @JulianOliver@mastodon.social @mattsheffield@mastodon.social @crowgirl@hachyderm.io I don't think it is Richard Dawkins being neuro diverse, I think it is the majority missing the point, not really addressing the concepts involved. Dawkins didn't actually conclude #ai is #conscious as the headlines say, it's more like he was saying you cannot tell the difference. What is the definition of #consciousness anyway? nobody knows.

"The Hard Problem of Consciousness" hasn't been solved because it's the wrong question. We need to be working on "The Hard Problem of Matter." #physics #quantum #science #consciousness https://zachperlman.substack.com/p/the-hard-problem-of-matter
