Do you think ChatGPT understands the truth of humanity more than that of an ant? What is it that you know/understand with more certainty than an ant knows about being an ant? IOW, An AGI can have knowledge of every single action you make; but it will never understand what it feels like to be you, when you're having a wank... 😇

Well-being, is a method of accepting one's knowledge isn't enough to be useful; it's up to you to decide what you do with that knowledge...

You don't seem to understand the part knowledge plays in our understanding of the real world; metaphor is an artificial link between knowledge and understanding, it's usefulness is in order to teach those that don't understand why the knowledgeable aren't happier with what they understand...

How exactly does this further our understanding of the human mind, let alone how this relates to the mind of an ant verses a whale; your mass/talent indicator suggests a whale would dominate a human in a game of metaphorical chess.

What is empty is your cup of understanding; for instance the spiritual benefits of revenge is not about making others suffer in the physical world...

The thing about a ghost is, it can't touch the real world; so what difference does it make? I just punched you in the face with my ghostly power; how did that feel?

Bolded mine: It's not at the core of our understanding, but that doesn't mean real cognition can't be statistical in nature (Spock proves it); the interesting thing, for me, is how could one communicate with the other, in any meaningful way without a fundamental basis of experience, that would allow a metephor to transfer understanding, rather than just knowledge...

That's how the system is broken, a guaranteed vote is like a blank cheque; easy to write and hard to cash...

Of course, my bad... 🖖

So, the answer to the OP is 1, wait, it could be 0, if we take the topic title literally; even if we include ghosts, it's still a 1 or a 0 naturally.

This is where you need to be more specific, which ethical approach do you think we should use to avoid poisoning the well? And don't say all of them, bc that wouldn't be politically expedient... 😉

Which is better with sound?

Observed by what method? Did you see it, hear it or feel it in the groin?

How would you ensure that the data is clean? When did Uncle Ben have great power? Prehaps he was just guessing that that was an appropriate aphorism, to appear wise... That seems rather sketchy too, it appears like you're demanding that something you like is given preference, in law, bc you like the idea...

Indeed, Margaret Thatcher was more of a man, than Trump could ever cope with...

Indeed, but I bet we pay way more to kill some of the rats, than we do to save all the endangered species; then there's the cockroach and all his/her buddies...

That's admirable, but just remember that every criticism you receive is an 'opportunity' to take a step towards understanding the 'subject' you want to make an impact in... 😉 There are no shortcuts to understanding, google can help with well directed question's, but it can't understand things for you, or itself for that matter, the biggest problem AI has to overcome is rubbish in rubbish out.

Of course you belong, it's an open forum; besides I couldn't write a formal paper in a formal way, that doesn't stop me from sharing my silly ideas; much to the chagrin of some of the membership.😇 The best way to learn, is to share your thought's and listen to why other people think it's a silly thing. Nazis are bad M'kay...

She seems to have galvanised plenty of support, in a short time; she seems to me like a released spring. Do you think that energy is enough to catch up, given that Trump's primery weapon is pointing at him now?

Indeed, but not every programme work's... 🙂

Ask a dog, suppose you're Dr Doolittle and you can talk dog (without anthropomorphising), do you think you'll understand what it is to be a dog, without being able to lick your own genital's, or sniff the difference between a bitch and a dog etc.? While we understand how AI work's, we can discern the output as a product of the process. The common/fundamental characteristics/components of all consciousness, is that we humans can communicate what it's like to be a conscious human, with other conscious human's. You need to refine your question, being careful not to conflate consciousness with intelligence...

There's a reason why fermentation stops when the alcohol level reaches a pitiful 15%, it's not a dead end but it sure does seem like Gaia is looking out for us alcoholics. But if you want some fun, sing

Thanks, however that's not evidence of my wrongism, or more pertinately any sort of support for your claim.

It's difficult to see the benefits, when the implication is that fewer and fewer people will think for themselves...

Thanks, but let's be honest with the truth, we don't really care about what the cow eats...
