This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Am I missing something, or is the point simply “I can build a computer program in a game that you may be surprised to learn is Turing complete, therefore ai is not sentient?”
I’m not here to argue that AI is sentient, but this is a really lousy argument.
The argument in the paper is a bit more nuanced - it's mostly arguing that we over-anthropomorphise AI, and this taints out results on AI sentience by pre-biasing towards some human like qualities already. Part of this comes from the AI attempting to emulated a human notion of identity.
Using a contrived goat powered AoE II AI would likely yield less assumed human-like quality bias. It would also be hilarious.
It would also be hilarious.
Oh 100%.
Nobody is arguing it’s not hilarious
An article that just repeats the headline. What a waste of time.
Better than a headline leaving out the important bits
Most people only read the headline anyway ¯\(ツ)/¯
