Fabian Rosdahlen: I can't think of any tests that would indicate whether or not AGI is really sentient. The believers in P-Zombies who beg the question by presuming it's possible to imagine something that has all the behaviors of a conscious creature yet doesn't have conscious experience, he says.

Welcome to the May 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
