How would you define and measure machine consciousness?
A post argues that useful LLM answers don’t establish conscious understanding and calls for testable measures of machine consciousness.
TLDR
A post describes LLMs as next-token predictors and argues that solving problems or explaining concepts does not establish conscious comprehension. It suggests studying observable, testable computational properties rather than debating whether machines experience life as humans do, and asks how machine consciousness could be defined and measured.
