Thought Experiment for AI People

Thought experiment from Michael:

  1. Any algorithm that can be executed by a machine can be executed by a person, on paper. (It will just take a lot longer).
  2. AI algorithms are not exempt from the above
  3. If a person “runs” an AI algorithm, on paper, then it is clear that an intelligence has not come into being.
  4. Therefore, “AI” will never achieve “sentience,” whatever that means.
