Well, then you basically agree with Chiang's article. Just that Chiang as a clever usage of the word "understanding" than you (more clever because more nuanced: 1) I doubt that "people on the street" will agree that obviously "brainless" objects, like a pocket calculator or an interactive wikipedia page will understands anything, 2) Chiang is not stumbling on words: he explained his case that makes clear what he means, and it is to the interlocutor to adopt his vocabulary (because it is very legitimate here) rather than start saying "hm, no, I disagree, because for me, 'conscious' means 'print something on the screen', so LLMs are conscious". That is just missing the point) |
