I can say the exact same thing about you or anybody else. You can’t be patient, understanding, encouraging, non-judgmental tutor. You can only simulate it.

I really can’t understand why people don’t understand this. What am I missing?



Philosophical zombies are supposed to be a thought experiment to demonstrate that solipsism and nihilism are stupid, not a rhetorical device to equate human minds to linear algebra statistical parrots.


Geezus freaking christ.

Now is that a simulation of someone who thinks he's responding to a cretin... or actually the feelings of someone who thinks he's talking to a cretin?

This simulation is too realistic. I’d like to stop the game now please.


> What am I missing?

You are missing what this "AI" is: a guessing system based on some patterns.


Every argument against AI always falls back to some weird reductionism that simply does not match up with reality as if it's a gotcha. I pity the fool that has such a poor working model of reality based on whatever internal pessimistic biases you may have.

You just described the majority of your daily thoughts.
