I never suggested that it was one or the other.

I think it's very obviously both.

(and these two qualities are likely necessary, but not sufficient)

[CyberDildonics]

So according to you there is a threshold where someone who can't remember enough or correlate things stops being human?

[quesera]

Stops exhibiting human intelligence, on at least some of the many axes thereof, yes definitely.

I feel like you're trying to gotcha me into some corner, but I'm not sure you're reading my comments fully. Or perhaps I'm being less clear than I think.

I don't mean to be ungracious, but am I missing something here?

[CyberDildonics]

It's not a gotcha, I just don't think you're thinking through the implications of what you're saying when you think only in terms of being able to fake thought with statistics.

[quesera]

I'm saying that recall+correlation is sometimes enough to emulate some level of some forms of human intelligence.

How frequently? How high? And which forms? These metrics are in flux. Today is very different from a few months ago.

Enough to perform at the level of an ordinary retail service employee? I think this is probably within reach, soon.

Do you think that's naive?
