alt Hacker NewsLast year went for a walk with a fairly known AI researcher, I was somewhat shocked that they didn't understand the difference between thoughts, feelings and emotions. This is what I find interesting about all these top someones in AI.
I presume the teams at the frontier labs are interdisciplinary (philosophy, psychology, biology, technology) - however that may be a poor assumption.

What do you think is the difference, and why are you certain it must apply to AI? Why do you think human thought/emotion is an appropriate model for AI?
If it's all just information in the end, we don't know how much of all this is implementation detail and ultimately irrelevant for a system's ability to reason.
Because I am pretty sure AI researchers are first and foremost trying to make AI that can reason effectively, not AI that can have feelings.
Let's walk first before we run. We are no where near understanding what is qualia to even think we can do so.
