“These systems simply don’t. It is a mistake to attribute consciousness to them.”
Our reading:
Current AI systems have no experience, and it is a mistake to say they are conscious.
Assessment: Can’t be checked
What happened
Not graded on evidence
Outcome: Can’t be checked
Both AIs found that public evidence can’t settle this. Listed, not scored.
Why it can’t be checked
- Too vague to test: informed readers would test it in different ways and reach different answers.
- About something no public evidence could show, such as a private intention or a counterfactual.
Why
Not checked against evidence. Two independent screens, one from each provider, both found that evidence could not settle it: one found it about something no public evidence could show, such as a private intention or a counterfactual; the other found it too vague to test: informed readers would test it in different ways and reach different answers.
