I didn't intend to say anything about AI or it's current capabilities in my post, honestly

Just that the turing test was always a flawed thought experiment and we've known that for a long time

Personally I don't really think any current AI is sentient but I do think it is more capable and sophisticated than any chinese room thought experiment was ever imagined to be.

I'm not sure if I care about its nature all that much, honestly. I'm much more interested in the social implications of its existence and how we continue to make humanity relevant in a world where AI and Robotics are doing more and more

I'm very afraid that if humanity loses relevance in the current social environment it will be very bad for most of us
