> [!tldr] Intelligence = can think & consciousness = can feel/experience This is an argument from Yuval Noah Harari, but I more or less agree with it. Intelligence and consciousness are not the same thing. - Intelligence is the ability to *think*. - Consciousness is the ability to *feel* or *experience*. Computers and AI are, almost inarguably, "intelligent" – but they (probably) aren't "conscious". However, [[Defining life & consciousness is hard.]] So maybe we've accidentally created consciousness when we started creating LLMs. Who knows. **** # More ## Source - [[Nexus]]
