Yeah. It basically states that because all your neurons and synapses in the human brain follow quantum physics and can be simulated by a formal program, and do not know what they are doing or know meaning, humans are not sentient but merely simulate being a mind.
It’s really infuriating how one of the dumbest and self evident fallacious thought experiments gets so famous. Because idiots keep repeating it like the sub-sentient LLMs they are.
Because that is what we are really learning from LLMs. It’s not shocking that LLMs aren’t sentient, it’s shocking that we now know what minds can talk seemingly intelligent without having to be sentient. Which explains the current state of the world.
