Th.W. Adorno on Artificial Consciousness - Dictionary of Arguments
XIII 144 Artificial Consciousness/Adorno: (Answer to a question from students): Machines can perform the steps of synthesis - reproduction (recollection) and recognition. >Synthesis, >Recognition, >Reproduction. XIII 145 Contrast to the idealistic concept of the "I think", which is attributed to subjects: in a subject, the set of his experiences is not interchangeable with that of another subject. >Subjectivity, >"I think", >Cogito. If one were to assume that this would be possible by means of communication in the long run, one would make the notion of egoism an extremely thin and abstract principle. >Self, >Subject. However, the model of cognitive personal consciousness itself is an abstraction. Since Descartes, the ideal of recognition is the causal-mechanical recognition. >Recognition/Adorno, >Epistemology/Adorno. XIII 146 Then one might say that the ideal of the scientific and epistemological subject is the machine. N.B.: then machines, which are difficult to distinguish from the subject, presuppose a logical cognitive subject as a condition, whereas, conversely, this logical cognitive subject does not presuppose the existence of such machines, as it is simply and intelligently evident from history. Cf. >Turing-Test. ((s) Adorno thus establishes a distinction based on genesis against indistinguishability based on characteristics and behaviors). _____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
