Machines

Question 1

Camera analogy

Answer 1

Camera can categorize, detect faces or even recognize fase belonging to a person.. Does that mean it has a conscious sensation?

Here it’s quite easy to say no, bc the pixels/modules all work independently (kind of like feed forward p)

Question 2

Biological chauvinism

Answer 2

Maybe function has to be implemented biologically. If you’d have to build a conscious robot, you’d have to add something that is/simulates a biological property

Eg feedforward and recurrent proessing use different neurotransmittters. RP is more NMDA receptor acitvation. therefore reduced by blocker APV

Hence, it could be that whenever you have RP, your brain changes somehow. If it doesn;t you’d have no consciousness
