That's a philosophical question they have no real answer to and why they probably shouldn't fucking do this
Thoughts are composed of a large number of neurons, similar to a computer composted of many circuits. There actually is a real answer to the question.
Should add I’m not trying to be confrontational as you clearly are passionate about this. Just trying to keep it fact based.
A single perceptron is proven to be able to solve a simple mathematical problem, so I don't think you can hand wave this away by assuming a thought has to have more neurons to be complex enough to be considered a "thought". That isn't a scientific fact or answer to the problem.
“no.” is a complete sentence.
nooooooooooooo! is a complete thought.
is this a box in a lab screaming ‘nooooooooooo!’?
i have fear for the future we’re sending our youth into.
I fear not the man who writes 10,000 NOs, but the man who knows how to steal turds.
look, we all gotta have a hobby, friend.
