It doesn't matter whether or not the machine "thinks." This is what anti-AI people fail to understand -- AI isn't a mind in a machine, a human made from code, someone trapped in a computer. It matters whether or not the machine can reason with and take action in the world at large. This can happen without "thought." Such a machine would feel no emotion, have no conscience, have no body (I'd argue that having a body is essential for having what we'd call a mind but that's just my inner spinozan leaking out) but none of that matters. AI eggheads do not give one single shit about the philosophy of mind. They want to make a computer that can handle some level of abstract reasoning; and/or a computer that can self-improve. This has absolutely fuckall to do with "muh laptop can never feel existential angst therefore no AI" or whatever. To be clear, I still doubt that we'll crack AI before global warming kills us all, but just understand that "making a mind" isn't really what they're shooting for.
