AI is very good conscious projection,

But it will never have consciousness or knowing because it has no system of values.

And if we were to instill values in it, it would still be consciousness projection.

You saw my dad's cabin.

My dad died when I was five, but I bought it back and was working on it.

And inside of his cabin, I got to learn a lot about my father by working on the cabin that he built.

He would measure things and cut things right on walls and that type of stuff.

That's all consciousness projection that allowed me to get to know him away.

I might not have even known him if he were alive, but I got to re-experience and understand my father and his thoroughness through that cabin.

AI is consciousness projection.

It's projected consciousness.

It's getting very good, but on a calculator, you could get the same thing that you get out of a neural network if you had sufficient time.

I could present you a question just like you did on propensity.

I could sit here with a rule book and I could type in a calculator and

It might take me a million years, but I could do it, and I could give you the same answer that a neural network would give you.

That doesn't mean consciousness or knowing or AGI is present.

It relies on its training data.

It can only give you what the training data gives it.

It needs human consciousness projection, like we talked about with the CAPTCHAs, or we talked about with uploading photos to Google Drive.

It needs that training data.
