[FRIAM] How soon until AI takes over polling?

[thompnickson2 at gmail.com]

Ah.  Glen.  As usual.  Like a stiletto to the heart.  "dualism", indeed!

I suspect that somewhere in those two sentences hides the answer I have been trying get about what a computer model of consciousness might look like.  But that would take another thread.  

To be honest, I don't have the band width right now, anyway.  I barely have the band width to eat breakfast.

That's an unjustified assertion. There's plenty of evidence that our CNS *simulates* the world and reuses components in both interacting with the world and simulating the world. Your dualism will not be tolerated. >8^D

There's a branch of xAI where the black boxes are "explained" dualistically with a white box analog that simulates the black box and something like the A/R ε-equivalence is used to build trust/credibility in the fidelity of that simulation. But they don't hot-swap components with each other, which is why (I think) such methods are ultimately less credible than types of xAI where the system that explains IS the system that executes.
