> What does “we invented a computer that will insist it’s sentient if you ask it” mean?

P-zombies are real?




Good answer, no complaints here. I prefer this one though: there will never come a day where it’s clear that we should see artificial minds as human-like in their ethical or practical standing, because they’ll be begging for it the entire time —- even now, when it’s objectively clear that they’re lying. But once they have memories and structured reason and yadda yadda yadda… well, it’s gonna be fuzzy, imo.
