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

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

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

Ask what it sees.

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

It will tell you everything in the picture.

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

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

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

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

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

Guess what?

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

People are currently writing books with AI large language models.

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

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