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

People are currently writing books with AI large language models.

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

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

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

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

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

Ask what it sees.

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

It will tell you everything in the picture.

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

Guess what?

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

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

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

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