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

Ask what it sees.

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

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

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

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

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

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

People are currently writing books with AI large language models.

Guess what?

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

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 had to choose a favorite pokemon, what it would be.

It will tell you everything in the picture.

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

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