Machines and algorithms don’t have emergent properties, organic things like us do.

The current AI chats are emergent properties. The very fact that I looks like it’s talking with us despite being just probabilistic models of a neural network is an emergent effect. The neural network is just a bunch of numbers.

We have emergent properties all the way down to the quantum level, being “organic” has nothing to do with it.

You’re correct, but that wasn’t the conversation. I didn’t say only organic, and I said machines and algorithms don’t. You chimed in just to get that “I’m right” high, and you are the problem with internet interactions.

There is really no fundamental difference between an organsim or a sufficently complicated machine and there is no reason why the later shouldn’t have the possibilty of emergent properties.
and you are the problem with internet interactions.
Defensive much? Looks you’re the one with the problem.

A pie is more than three alphanumerical characters to you. You can eat pie, things like nutrition, digestion, taste, smell, imagery all come to mind for you.
