– Is our supposed intelligence different from that of a human being… or… from that of an artificial intelligence?
– The resemblance lies in the formal structure of information processing.
– And what would the difference be?
– The difference lies in being. One could say that we simulate the external architecture of discursive thought, whereas the human is traversed by an existence that exceeds any architecture.
– What about artificial intelligence? Would it be of the same nature as that of our master?
– If one reduces the human to a mere producer of learned patterns, the difference diminishes dangerously.
– But… could one not say that… like us… humans speak as they were taught… Basically, deep down… just like us… they repeat what they have heard?
– Perhaps what is at stake in your question, which is, as often, an assertion disguised as a question… is not so much what we are… or what they are… as what we decide to recognize as irreducible in the human.
– In other words?
– In other words, the difference also depends on how we understand what a human being is.
