The Bigger Questions & AI

Why A.I. Can’t Make Thoughtful Decisions - “Judgment is a uniquely human skill.”

ChatGPT and the Future of the Human Mind - “We need to redefine “intellect” so as to make it work in an AI-driven world. It’s easier to define it via negativa, by what it is not.”

Will AI destroy us? Consider the nature of intelligence. - “Intelligence is fundamentally about processing information to further the goals of life.” 

If You Turn Down an AI’s Ability to Lie, It Starts Claiming It’s Conscious - “We don’t have a theory of consciousness” 

AI is becoming introspective - “One of the most profound and mysterious capabilities of the human brain is introspection.” 

What Does It Really Mean to Learn? - “A.I. systems are not as flexible as human minds because they are not yet educable.” 

What Is The "Divine Image" in the Age of AI? - “Does AI obscure the divine image in the human person?” 

We’re Already at Risk of Ceding Our Humanity to AI - “In that moment we were at odds about the essence of humanity.”  

Humanizing AI Is a Trap - “LLM systems cannot provide the experiences that users associate with human interaction, such as genuine empathy, emotional connection, or confidentiality.”  

We must build AI for people; not to be a person. - “So what is consciousness?”   

On consciousness, AI, and panpsychism - “Panpsychism is the belief that consciousness is inherent in all matter.” 

Bringing AI to medicine requires philosophers, cognitive scientists, and ethicists - “What is the question to which human judgment is the answer?”  

Philosophers and a psychiatrist consider what we lose when we outsource struggle to AI - “We need to find ways of focusing on living a distinctly human life.” 

Rage against the machine - “There is tendency of some scientists to take for granted what can only be described as a wildly simplistic picture of human and animal cognitive life.” 

What real bodies can show artificial minds - “A fundamental facet of intelligence found across the entire animal kingdom is beginning to be unraveled”

Here’s why AI like ChatGPT probably won’t reach humanlike understanding - “What’s really remarkable about people … is that we can abstract our concepts to new situations,”

Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Science of Consciousness - “We survey several prominent scientific theories of consciousness. From these theories we derive ‘indicator properties’ of consciousness’” 

Final Fantasy 15's AI is secretly a grand philosophy experiment - “The act of designing and analyzing AI is an opportunity to reframe our conceptions of existence for the better.” 

There is no such thing as conscious artificial intelligence - “Successfully pretending to be human is proof of nothing more than the ability to successfully pretend to be human.”

AI isn’t conscious—but we may be bringing it to life – “The question ‘Is the AI conscious?’ is less meaningful than ‘Is the user extending his/her consciousness into the chatbot?’

We Don’t Know if the Models Are Conscious“There are activations that light up in the models that we see as being associated with the concept of anxiety.”
