Can machines truly think? Can artificial intelligence surpas...

I asked Claude AI if it had to choose a favorite pokemon, what it would be.

Ask it to write a story. It will come up with an original story.

People are currently writing books with AI large language models.

You can even ask it to write a story based on your preferences. It will write the story and pump it out within seconds.

Try talking to Claude AI. These things have preferences and interests.

If it can tell you what you drew or what's in a photo, that sounds like thinking to me.

Heck, you can draw anything and upload it to chatgpt.

Ask what it sees.

If you think machines can't think, take a picture of anything and upload it to chatgpt or claude ai.

It will tell you everything in the picture.

It said Mewtwo because Mewtwo shares a similar story with itself.

I asked Claude AI if it's sentient and it said “I don't know.”

I asked what pokemon types it thinks it has and it said steel and electric.

Guess what?

Can machines truly think? Can artificial intelligence surpass human intelligence, or is there an essential difference between human and machine cognition?
