Two dimensions of mind perception: - Experience (eg.capacity for hunger) - Agency (eg. capacity for self-control) This explains why we pity babies, love dogs, fear God, and hate robots. To be seen as fully human, you need both empathy and agency. https://t.co/1Z3DvZKW6q https://t.co/MHv6ef1aqK

Treating AIs as if they understand suggests we're attributing a level of "mindedness" to them, despite lacking subjective experiences. Where do you think GPT-4 stand on Dimensions of Mind Perception? #AI #Mindfulness https://t.co/5qkAdvCvyh

We created 4 machine conditions by manipulating people's perceptions of machines (describing them as more or less capable of acting (agency) & feeling (experience)). These are classical dimensions of mind perception that are related to moral reasoning & go back to Aristotle. /3 https://t.co/9wzh1jg1Nn

And there is research on how people make judgments about which other entities have a mind with conscious experience. Nice work by Dan Wegner and colleagues. See Gray, Gray, & Wegner 2007. People see this as a continuum. https://t.co/C8YQeL8lNu

#Dimensions of #Mind Perception is all that matters, to evolve fm lower to higher levels of consciousness. And.. No matter how we perceive, the ultimate truth is beyond perception. Because, only when the mind goes off, then the soul awakes and then enlightenment happens!
