alt Hacker NewsYou've shifted jargon again. But you're still not providing a description or link to why AI doesn't "have experience", you're just demanding we all accept it as a prior and engaging in a (really pretty baldly stated) appeal to authority to fool us all into thinking someone else knows even if you don't.
And fundamentally my point is that no, they almost certainly don't either.
Instead of accusing me of "shifting jargon", point out exactly where this "jargon" changed and critically engage with that. Your response has done nothing to refute or critically engage with my argument. It's more retreating and vagueposting.

At absolutely no point in this discussion have I claimed that machines are not capable of subjective conscious experience. I have, however, disqualified all publicly accessible modern models due to the lack of a sensory feedback loop. I certainly believe we can create machines which experience subjective consciousness and qualia; I do not believe in souls and divinity, so whatever is going on is physically based and likely reproducible with the right hardware.
So dispense with the straw man arguments, and please begin engaging more earnestly and intelligently in this discussion, as I am quickly losing interest in continuing to debate someone who showed up unprepared.
