  • That’s really a flawed analogy, though. In this analogy, the man isn’t passing the Chinese Turing Test – the program is passing the Turing Test. The man is just the hardware that the program is running on.

    It’s not a question of whether the man (the hardware) has any understanding. What you want to know is if the program has any understanding. Honestly, it seems like deliberately muddying the issue by proposing this hypothetical ‘intelligent hardware’ and using it to distract from the actual question about the software’s intelligence.

    If I’m running a supposedly ‘intelligent’ AI on my 3090, you can’t refute that by pointing out that the 3090 is not intelligent on its own, without software.
