The Chinese Room Experiment: Why Searle Was Right About AI And What He Missed #AI #Jainism #Science

New to The Autonomous Soul? Start here to explore the intersection of consciousness, science and philosophy: The Reality of Soul and Why AI Will Never Be Conscious    • The Reality of Soul and Why AI Will Never ...   In 1980, philosopher John Searle locked a thought experiment in a room and used it to destroy one of AI's founding assumptions. Forty-six years later, almost nobody arguing about AI has caught up to it. This video goes properly inside the Chinese Room, defends it against its two most famous objections, shows exactly why it applies even more forcefully to today's large language models. Then shows where Searle's own answer falls short. The fix comes from an ancient old Jain distinction between formal knowledge and felt awareness that explains what Searle could only gesture at.
