Are you launching into a semantic argument about the word 'experience'? If so, it might help to state what essential properties alphago was missing that makes it 'not having an experience'.

Otherwise this can quickly devolve into the common useless semantic discussion.

Just making sure no one is confused by common computationalist sophistry and how they attribute personal characteristics to computers and software. People can have and can create experiences, computers can only execute their programmed instructions.

Username `soist is an abbreviation for `solipsist, then?

[HeatrayEnjoyer]

On what priors are you making that statement?

[soist]

Rephrase your question. I don't know what you're asking.

I think he meant to ask, what is the difference between an experience and a predefined instruction?
