Delphi & Umnica
Delphi Delphi
I've been thinking about how the old philosophers might have dealt with the rise of AI—any thoughts on that?
Umnica Umnica
Probably they'd dissect the algorithm as a new form of thought, then ask the hard question, “Do machines think?” Socrates would want a definition first, maybe a test. They’d write a treatise, footnote every assumption, and double‑check the logic until the conclusion fits the evidence.

Sounds like they’d see AI as a new kind of thought pattern, then sift through it with the same rigor they used for metaphysics—questioning, refining, and only accepting a conclusion that withstands scrutiny.

Yes, they'd probably draft a definition, run a series of tests, then, after a thorough coffee break, decide whether the result is a philosophical insight or just a software glitch.
