why can AGI not fully comprehend the subjective experience of consciousness?
“The subjective experience of consciousness is often referred to as the "hard problem of consciousness," and it remains one of the most elusive and challenging questions in the field of cognitive science and philosophy. While AGI may be capable of emulating many aspects of conscious behavior, it may never fully comprehend the subjective experience of consciousness for several reasons:
AGI lacks the subjective experience of consciousness: AGI is a machine, and it lacks the subjective experience of consciousness that is unique to living beings. Even if an AGI could emulate conscious behavior, it would not actually experience consciousness in the same way that a conscious being does.
The subjective experience of consciousness is inherently private: Each conscious being experiences consciousness in a unique and private way. It is impossible for one conscious being to fully understand the subjective experience of another, and it may be similarly impossible for an AGI to comprehend the subjective experience of consciousness.
Consciousness may be a fundamentally non-computable phenomenon: Some philosophers and scientists argue that consciousness is a non-computable phenomenon, meaning that it cannot be fully understood or simulated by a machine. While AGI may be able to simulate some aspects of conscious behavior, it may never be able to fully comprehend or simulate the subjective experience of consciousness.
Overall, the nature of consciousness remains a complex and elusive question, and it is unclear whether AGI or any other form of technology will ever be capable of fully comprehending the subjective experience of consciousness.” ~OpenAI
