nobody has ever established any causative relationship between "complexity" (which is not inadequately defined here) and consciousness but every article like this assumes that one exists, because they're written by completely unserious people

@jcoglan@mastodon.social Complexity for its own sake has always struck me as a contraindication of intelligence. So if consciousness is upstream of intelligence, this all seems like a poor direction to move in.

"I am asserting is it impossible to know if AI is conscious, therefore anyone making a categorical statement that it is not is making an unfounded claim" this is not how extraordinary claims are supposed to work. open the schools

@jcoglan@mastodon.social it reminds me of the people in the late 90s breathlessly proclaiming that because the internet had more connections than the human brain, it must be conscious! Don’t hear much from those people lately, do we.
