oh i know about the chinese room dont worry >v<
how can we be sure that people has real feels? is consciousness just scaling “situational awareness” to absurd levels?
i feel like the chinese room is a fun thought experiment which opens more questions about animals (including humans) than about if virtual human copies on digital hardware live or feel.
i feel like in “which reality” an animal is simulated doesn’t determine if it has “true feels” as we are crossing between physics and psychology here… and those don’t mix well i think.
EDIT: the above paragraph only holds if one assumes that “being alive” and “feeling” is possible with just the laws of physics and math and such and no magic extra ingredient.
