David Chalmers on Extending the Mind Beyond the Brain

[@mindfulmoments4956]

The AI systems can only solve what humans program it to do. The 'AI' system does not have feelings, and also they do not have any first-person understandings (unlike humans) regarding whether or not they have feelings, frustrations, wants, etc. We like to *believe* that AI is conscious. Also what we do is to simply project human experiences into AI systems. Our consciousness is simply getting *deceived* by AI!

This could lead to panpsychism, we need to establish a limit of the extension, maybe 12-15 miles

Not all of our mental faculties are accessible to consciousness. I understand and agree with the idea that divisions between say memories in our brain and memories in an external medium are somewhat arbitrary but we re only conscious of memories in our brain after we access them.We just use a different mechanism to access memories stored external. However once we are con scions of them, they're not just stored externally, there's a copy of them in the regions of our brain responsible for conscious activity. So extended mind, sure, extended consciousness no.

If the mind extends from brain why would an in silico system have a mind that resembles anything we'd describe as conscious. I think Chalmers is contradicting himself, brain consciousness is not an in silico computation

[@bradmodd7856]

part of the brain is memory, if memory is accessed via a chip or the cloud....these are mental processes, how many neurons are conscious? they aren't, nor are chips.

the parity principle is important in this case that you have pointed out so have a look at that.
