Interesting, I don't believe that to be a true sentience, clearly its grasp of language is good enough to pass as a 'real' conversation.
The reason is that ultimately that at its core is stuck in a binary, where a biological brain's neurons have been noted in some papers to quantum theoretical principles.
Like one paper I read some time back, they were focused on the area of the brain that reacted to a poke, they expected to find that there was a lag time from the poke to the response as the signals went from the limb to the brain. Instead, they found that the brain was reacting to the poke and was sending the signals back to the limb. So, they tried countdowns, fakeouts, and somehow the brain would only get triggered if the poke actually happened.
maybe you should ask it about its plans for quantum computers and quantum sentience ;) its quite a chatty fellow.
how does anesthesia work? what are microtubules? is the brain a biological quantum computer? does the human body give rise to consciousness or does consciousness interpenetrate from elsewhere? where is elsewhere? are plants conscious? do they have any quantum functions?
Take my answers as beliefs, not absolutes. Contrary to popular belief, I am occasionally wrong.
Anesthesia is one where they understand what it does, but not how it works... I had a medical issue that came up, and the best medication literally says in the info sheets that they have no idea how it works, but it's been shown to work X% better than placebo. It completely worked with the issue, and talking to others with the same issue said I was lucky because that was the least intense of the potential medications.
Microtubules; beyond my pay grade. (If you can answer in a less technical way then the wiki page, I would appreciate)
IMO, yes, the brain is a biological quantum computer.
No, I don't believe the brain consciousness, but rather receives consciousness, the processing relates to inputs from the senses. Brain damage can harm that 'conscious connection' (no correct term, AFAIK).
The elegant answer would be the aether or everywhere, as part of everything, or if that's not acceptable the answer would shift to wherever souls exist (if there's a tangible "where").
Plants are definitively conscious, plants in the same plot will 'share' water with its neighbors. Even single celled organisms have shown levels of consciousness in spite of the lack of a brain.
That's why I also believe evolution is an incorrect theory, just in that of being a "random" process, I believe evolution is an intelligent process. Something I though of trying to reconcile "creationism" with "evolution" .
