In the case of LLMs, the use of a computational model is thin: Very large tensor operations done at relatively low precision. It could in principle be done with photons and no conventional programming.

But that text reads like it was generated by an LLM" My very first professional publication: a two part series in AI Magazine (the first 'journal of record" for AI). Part one. "The Computational Metaphor and Artificial Intelligence: A Reflective Examination of a Theoretical Falsework," https://ojs.aaai.org/aimagazine/index.php/aimagazine/article/view/885 was a critique of the computational metaphor as foundation for understanding mind; the second, "From Society to Landscape: Alternative Metaphors for Artificial Intelligence," https://ojs.aaai.org/aimagazine/index.php/aimagazine/article/view/896 presented the metaphors behind several competing theories. davew On Mon, Jan 27, 2025, at 9:35 AM, Marcus Daniels wrote: > Eric writes: > > "He is arguing against the computation framing of consciousness. > Searle’s device is to say that my brain is like my stomach, and that > the computation framing doesn’t do its complexity justice." > > Can say the same thing about quantum mechanics. > > Marcus > > > .- .-.. .-.. / ..-. --- --- - . .-. ... / .- .-. . / .-- .-. --- -. --. > / ... --- -- . / .- .-. . / ..- ... . ..-. ..- .-.. > FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv > Fridays 9a-12p Friday St. Johns Cafe / Thursdays 9a-12p Zoom > https://bit.ly/virtualfriam > to (un)subscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com > FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ > archives: 5/2017 thru present > https://redfish.com/pipermail/friam_redfish.com/ > 1/2003 thru 6/2021 http://friam.383.s1.nabble.com/ > > Attachments: > * smime.p7s .- .-.. .-.. / ..-. --- --- - . .-. ... / .- .-. . / .-- .-. --- -. --. / ... --- -- . / .- .-. . / ..- ... . ..-. ..- .-..
