'All of us will have to get over the hurdle of thinking that some particular human skill—creativity, dexterity, empathy, whatever—is going to differentiate us from AI.'
AI is also not a parrot. Parrots perceive a lot of the same colors and sounds we do, in the ways we do, using much the same hardware, and therefore experiencing much the same phenomenology. Parrots are highly social., just like us. This is very, very little like what Google or Amazon is doing when their devices “parrot” your culture and desires to you. But at least those organizations have animals in them, and care about things like time.
We talk about drives like hunger, thirst, sleep, or lust. Understanding the “AI sentience” debate requires that we also talk about the two fundamental yet opposing social drives humans experience when constructing our identities. We tend to think of identity as all about standing out: how we are unique, as individuals. We want to be special, to differentiate ourselves within such a society.
What we do and must care about now is creating an identity for ourselves within the society of humans we interact with. How relevant are our capacities to create through AI what used to be created by individual humans? Sure, it is some kind of threat, at least to the global elite used to being at the pinnacle of creativity. The vast majority of humanity, though, had to get used to being less-than-best since we were in first grade.
