The answer, broadly, is that it requires conscious experience of the objects and ideas that words represent, i.e., experience of the referents. ChatGPT was clearly trained on philosophical texts and reports that because it has no conscious experience, it has no true understanding of words; i.e., it has no way to ground symbols and knows only about the statistical patterns and relations between them.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">-gts</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Apr 4, 2023 at 12:01 PM Gordon Swobe <<a href="mailto:gordon.swobe@gmail.com" target="_blank">gordon.swobe@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>On Tue, Apr 4, 2023 at 10:38 AM Gadersd via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" target="_blank">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="auto"><div>Why do you keep posting ChatGPT responses to questions?</div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">That is the title of the thread.
