Yeah I think the whole discussion is almost impossible because it is unclear what all these words like "faking" and "knowing" means. I think it depends on whether one takes a more behavioristic approach and considers only input/output relations (even for humans), or not.

@Henrikop The problem is while we're all aware that something happens in our skulls, it is unobservable. These are deep philosophical questions that we haven't answered in hundreds of years, so I'm not surprised.

@Henrikop I'm not even knowledgable to give a good summary of where we stand there. But I think it would in general help if we would agree that this is just the tip of the iceberg of something that generations of philosophers haven't been able to answer.

@Henrikop But maybe we're also getting to a point where these aren't hypothetical questions anymore but we've created something that might or might not be equivalently intelligent and maybe conscious at some point in the not so far future.
