YouTube video by Filosofie Teoretica Johannes Brinz, 'The Flashcard Sorter – Applicability of the Chinese Room Argument to LLMs'

Presented on whether the Chinese Room Argument still applies to Large Language Models (LLMs)! 🧠 LLMs differ from GOFAI, but I argue the CRA's core point remains relevant. Preprint: philpapers.org/archive/BRIT... Paper submitted.

There will only be the general link to the ISPSM conference. No extra link for the symposium. You can send the @ispsm.bsky.social organizers a mail asking for the link.

Has anyone in #philsky published in SpringerBriefs? I’m considering it for a project and would really appreciate hearing about your experiences.

A colleague of mine is working on defining "control" in AVH. She argues that different psychologists use the concept of "control" in very different ways, which explains their seemingly contradictory findings. Maybe not phil of sci, but it seems to be a good example of philosophy guiding science.

It says "access denied" when I click on the link.

I've had good experiences with Synthese regarding unconventional/interdisciplinary papers. Also Philosophy of AI might be a good option. It's not high-ranking (as it's very new) but its OA. @philosophyofai.bsky.social

I agree. However, I get the impression that quite a few people believe that the Chinese room does not understand, but LLMs do - because of their special architecture. As far as these people are concerned, I am curious to see what they think about the flashcard sorter.
