We've always talked about computer programs as having goals or beliefs ("The ATM won't give me money; it knows I'm overdrawn"). Opposing it is a bit silly. To me the main issue is that some LLM manufacturers don't seem to use this language metaphorically...

It's important to remember that the AI doom scenario assumes not only that intelligence is a single well-defined thing, but also that intelligence solves literally every single problem, and that in every conflict overwhelming intelligence always wins. This is just not how anything works.

Mais bon ce n'est pas forcément très grave pour la tribune si le point est juste que c'est une façon utile de parler des IA, ce qui me semble difficile à nier (s'opposer à tout usage d'un vocabulaire intentionnel, même métaphorique, me semble être une position assez extrême)

110

Quentin Ruyant @qruy.eurosky.social · 07/10/2026

Évidemment dans ce cadre il n'y a pas de raison de distinguer usage littéral et métaphorique (puisque ce n'est jamais littéral pour ainsi dire), mais à ma connaissance ce genre d'éliminativisme n'est pas une position majoritaire !

110

Quentin Ruyant @qruy.eurosky.social · 07/10/2026

J'ai l'impression qu'il y a un léger contresens sur ce concept dans la tribune. Le point de Dennett n'est pas qu'on peut "faire comme si" certains objets avaient des croyances, mais qu'attribuer des croyances est une façon de parler utile, *y compris quand on parle d'êtres humains*

110

Quentin Ruyant @qruy.eurosky.social · 06/10/2026

Et on peut avoir l'impression que les fabricants incitent à ce genre de choses en utilisant le langage intentionnel sans exprimer de doute sur le fait que c'est littéral et approprié (ayant tendance à considérer les "agents IA" comme des simulations, je dirais que ce n'est pas littéral)

110

Quentin Ruyant @qruy.eurosky.social · 06/10/2026

En effet, et de fait on emploie déjà un tel vocabulaire à propos de programmes informatiques dans plein de situations qui n'impliquent aucune IA. Ce qui me semble plus gênant c'est quand des usagers l'utilisent littéralement et développent une relation à tendance délirante avec des chatbots

But of course it could be because of my intuitions regarding the ontology of thoughts

010

Quentin Ruyant @qruy.eurosky.social · 01/10/2026

Yes, or maybe we have a case where the way to extend an old terminology to a new domain is underdetermined (as often happens in science). However for now I'm still more tempted to say that the application to LLM is metaphorical or fictional (as when talking about characters in a videogame, say)

It's definitely legitimate to take credit for our subconscious processes, as long as they were intentionally regulated at some point. If conscious intentions entirely disappear from the picture, I'm not sure

030

Quentin Ruyant @qruy.eurosky.social · 30/09/2026

I also tend to think that there is some kind of phenomenology associated even with abstract cognition (not a mainstream view I agree) so that access consciousness ultimately rests on phenomenal consciousness, and that the non-decomposability/unity of it is essential

010

Quentin Ruyant @qruy.eurosky.social · 30/09/2026

It seems to be that we normally reserve the words "think" and "understand" in ordinary language for the high level, conscious monitoring process, even though it rests on a great amount of subconscious processes

241

Quentin Ruyant @qruy.eurosky.social · 30/09/2026

Good article, although I disagree with most of it! I don't think all the subconscious processes that are described deserve to be called "thinking" or "understanding" on the normal use of these words. I only think about the city once it becomes conscious, even though it popped up involuntarily

So it makes these questions more pressing and tangible maybe, but it doesn't raise them

Quentin Ruyant @qruy.eurosky.social · 23/09/2026

I certainly disagree that these questions weren't raised before just because there was no "proof of concept" available. That rarely stops philosophers: there have been all sorts of thought experiments on these issues for decades. "Could a machine think" is not a new question at all

Quentin Ruyant @qruy.eurosky.social · 22/09/2026

No I was talking about the fact that for every object or span of time added to the simulation the resources needed multiply instead of just adding up, which puts hard limits on what can be achieved
