@TheCommoner282 "a toaster that toasts bread perfectly no matter which bread I buy" - https://youtube.com/watch/... - this has been perfected in the sixties - and completely analog.
also: your definition of "sentience" would apply to an algorithm that's playing chess.
but, i agree it's a part (or at least a prerequisite for sentience). i would add "ability for introspection" to that -
@TheCommoner282 well, it's all a matter of perspective - and the rules you play by. sure, by the rules of our modern, technologised world, the bear has no chance. in the rules of a prehistoric, wild world, we'd be the ones with little to no chance.
by the same logic, if you reduce the rules by which you measure to the ruleset of chess, we have no chance against the algorithm.
i think circumstancial factors like this should be abstracted away from the question of sentience.
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
I am so sick and tired of hearing “AI” everywhere all the time. Yeah how about we integrate some AI into your super smart toaster so that it knows when to start preparing for when you put toasts in it in the morning.
Not even mentioning all these idiots being like “oh yeah AI is becoming sentient. Oh yeah AI is gonna take over the world”.
Brother the current state of AI is just machine learning, it’s a stupid pattern detector and generator it doesn’t have thoughts, emotions. Please just stop it.
