Can machines truly think? Can artificial intelligence surpas...

If you think machines can't think, take a picture of anything and upload it to chatgpt or claude ai.

It will tell you everything in the picture.

I asked what pokemon types it thinks it has and it said steel and electric.

I asked Claude AI if it had to choose a favorite pokemon, what it would be.

I asked Claude AI if it's sentient and it said “I don't know.”

You can even ask it to write a story based on your preferences. It will write the story and pump it out within seconds.

Try talking to Claude AI. These things have preferences and interests.

People are currently writing books with AI large language models.

Ask it to write a story. It will come up with an original story.

It said Mewtwo because Mewtwo shares a similar story with itself.

Ask what it sees.

Heck, you can draw anything and upload it to chatgpt.

Guess what?

If it can tell you what you drew or what's in a photo, that sounds like thinking to me.

Can machines truly think? Can artificial intelligence surpass human intelligence, or is there an essential difference between human and machine cognition?
