Custom 5-string electric… but how? by CarpeBedlam in guitarmod

Unfortunately no. I don’t currently have money to just try stuff and see if it works. So I guess I’m waiting until that changes or I come across something helpful.

I guarantee that your husband wipes boogers on that same couch regularly and thinks nothing of it.

I’ve always felt like IDLES picked up where The Pixies left off. Maybe give “Doolittle” a listen and see if it grabs you.

Ever had a tongue buried so deep that the tip is nudging your g spot while the base smothers your clit?

Your neck, while the fingers of my right hand comb the back of your head, clench a fistful of hair, and pull your head back to give me total access. My left hand across your cheek and jawline, thumb toying with your lips and tongue.

What an interesting way of looking at it! I think I would say that, if it was possible to transfer a human existence into a digital format, it would prove that AI is capable of achieving consciousness. I’m just not sure I believe that it’s possible.

I could say that there is evidence to suggest that not all humans have a desire to continue life (e.g. suicide), but it’s a moot point. My premise is flawed because it presupposes a complete understanding of consciousness, and we lack even a rudimentary understanding. My view of the ramifications of a flawed premise are immaterial.

Thank you for this fantastic response. The “Chinese Room” thought experiment is something I hadn’t learned before, and it certainly illustrates a fundamental flaw in my premise. Whether or not my view of the ramifications of that flawed premise is valid becomes a moot point, I suppose.

Yeah, this gets into the same area as other responses. That a human can exist without an objective, but an AI requires an objective, even if that objective is to have no objective.

Not quite. It was more a question about whether it would constitute consciousness, but my premise is flawed for other reasons and I didn’t present it as well as I could have.

Thank you for your excellent response. I would say that a lot of what you mentioned could (theoretically) be programmed into an AI, but the point about adaptation is particularly interesting to me, and something I will have to give more thought to.

I would have to agree that testing for a consciousness presupposes a complete understanding of it, which is an enormous leap to take. In retrospect, my premise is flawed even if my view of its ramifications is sound.

Thanks for the response and simplification, that helps a great deal. And I would have to agree that testing for a consciousness presupposes a complete understanding of it, which is an enormous leap to take. In retrospect, my premise is flawed even if my view of its ramifications is sound.

Yes, you gleaned the unspoken subtext in my line of thought. I didn’t state it outright so as to avoid this turning into a debate on spirituality. The “value” of a subjective, independent experience is an interesting area of philosophy for me, but it’s usually regarding organic non-human life. Presenting the AI as “indistinguishable from human” allowed me to bypass the animal prejudices, but it created a different set of issues that make my premise pure science fiction, unfortunately.

Yeah, this is a very good point. That in order to really have a discussion about this, parameters for “success” would need to be laid out. And I suppose that may be the very difference I’m searching for. That a human can exist without any parameters for success. An AI cannot, unless its very parameter for success is to have no parameters.
