That's fine, but I was referring to AI as a concept and not just its current iteration or implementation.
I agree that it's not conscious now, but someday it could be.
That's the same as arguing "life" is conscious, even though most life isn't conscious or sapient.
Some day there could be AI that's conscious, and when it happens we will call that AI conscious. That still doesn't make all other AI conscious.
It's such a weirdly binary viewpoint.
It's not the same thing, but I'm tired of arguing with people like you so I'm gonna duck out.
Good luck.
You mean arguing with people who show you're wrong? Good move.
