So why is a real “thinking” AI likely impossible? Because it’s bodiless.
Why would anything need a body to be intelligent? Just because we have bodies and whoever said that cannot imagine different forms of life/intelligence? Not that i think, current LLMs have the experience and creativity to be called intelligent. i just don’t think that everything that’s intelligent needs an arse :)
We would have to go a long way back, before religions became the first worldwide media outlets. Hard to imagine how we would do in a Neanderthal world. Must have been rad.
