really? i would imagine if we were to simulate a humans / some other animals brain, it could feel things like the real one can. kinda like in this fly brain digitalization experiment, but on a larger scale.
something something amazing digital circus something something-… (u have heard nothing…)
EDIT: here a better link for that fly project in case anyone cares.
Simulating something like a brain didn’t mean it’s alive or feels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room
That’s a controversial thought experiment rather than a proven fact. There’s no proof yet that consciousness isn’t ‘just’ a computation, albeit one done by brain tissue rather than a regular computer, and if that’s the case, then the Church Turing Thesis applies, and the same computation can be done on a different computer without changing its nature.
If a human can be horny or sad, so can a computer one day.
