alt Hacker NewsI know what you mean but was just thinking people vary a lot in their requirements as to what they will accept as thinking. People show a kid a photo and say what's that and they say I think it's a dog and that's taken as evidence of thinking. With AI people want it to win a Nobel prize or something.
It's about priors again. I don't need evidence that humans think like humans. My prior on that is absolute certainty that they do, by definition. If, on the other hand, you wanted to persuade me that the kid was using an image classifier trained by backpropagation and gradient descent to recognise the dog I'd require strong evidence.
