Domanda (ispirata dalla famosa "stanza cinese" di Searle): ma l'AI ha capito quanto ha scritto?

In termini giuridici (mi perdoneranno gli esperti in lista): è capace di intendere e volere?

Ovviamente la risposta è no, ma questa questione della "consapevolezza" è FONDAMENTALE. Che chi fa divulgazione e comunicazione scientifica lo trascuri mi sembra molto grave.

Ciao, Enrico
