Well, now we need to have a 50-post discussion on whether "goblins" and "gremlins" are really the same thing, or if they are in fact two distinct species. All the D&D training I received in my youth can finally be brought to bear on a real-world problem!
FWIW, this Nobel Laureate [youtube.com] (Hinton) disagrees with you about consciousness. Maybe you should be less certain about your credences.
Anyway, there was some discussion about the Goblin Problem and its relation to consciousness it in the latest Last Week in AI [lastweekin.ai]. Always worth a listen.
If they think is a purely philosophical question. As soon as their actions become indistinguishable from a thinking being, it just doesn't matter and will evade your definitions. I mean a current reasoning model produces a long thinking trade. Is it just a sequence of tokens? Yes. Do these tokens result from 60 layers of neural network when a simple text generator needs just one? Yes. Is it thinking? Depends on your definition. At least it produces a text similar to thoughts and uses that to give better ans
The Enigma of Reason by Sperber and Mercier explains why there is little intelligence behind most actions, including human actions. The reasons are added later with my-side bias on top.
For the general problem of how human brains work and how LLMs differ from human thinking, I still think A Thousand Brains by Jeff Hawkins is the best book I've read. But I'm (always) looking for a better book (on any topic).
