You are confusing intelligence with consciousness (qualia). We simply don't know how qualia develops or how to measure it. We cannot discard, for example, than an ant has a greater qualia level than us. There are theories about qualia being connected to microtubules on neurons and quantum effects... the DOOM-playing neurons also have those microtubules. So you cannot say "definitely not".
- Chris2048 6mo ago> consciousness (qualia) I've never heard the word qualia used as a synonym for consciousness, only as a related but distinct concept. > an ant has a greater qualia level than us What? where does this come from?
- invalidusernam3 6mo agoWhy do you quote only the end, the full sentence is: We cannot discard, for example, than an ant has a greater qualia level than They're saying that since we don't know how to "measure consciousness" we can't be certain that an ant doesn't have more "consciousness" than us. Obviously it seems very unlikely, but we can't be certain
- Chris2048 6mo agoI don't share that interpretation, maybe they clarify what was meant themselves?
- arbitrary_name 6mo agofwiw i share the same interpretation as the other commenter.
