思维需要感官基础吗?从纯粹思维者到大语言模型
Does Thought Require Sensory Grounding? From Pure Thinkers to Large Language Models
AI总结:
该研究从哲学与AI交叉视角出发,论证纯粹思维者可存在但思维类型有局限,反驳了大语言模型因缺乏感官基础不能思考的观点,并探讨感官基础对认知能力的增强作用。
摘要:
思维能力是否需要感知能力?围绕这一议题的激烈辩论贯穿整个哲学史,如今也激发了人工智能领域的讨论。本文论证了原则上可以存在纯粹思维者——即完全不具备感知能力的思维主体。同时,本文也指出,在缺乏感知能力的情况下,可实现的思维类型存在显著局限。在人工智能方面,本文并未直接论证大语言模型能够思考或理解,而是反驳了一项认为它们不能的重要论点(感官基础论证)。本文还利用语言模型相关的最新研究成果,探讨了感官基础是否以及如何增强认知能力的问题。
英文摘要:
Does the capacity to think require the capacity to sense? A lively debate on this topic runs throughout the history of philosophy and now animates discussions of artificial intelligence. I argue that in principle, there can be pure thinkers: thinkers that lack the capacity to sense altogether. I also argue for significant limitations in just what sort of thought is possible in the absence of the capacity to sense. Regarding AI, I do not argue directly that large language models can think or understand, but I rebut one important argument (the argument from sensory grounding) that they cannot. I also use recent results regarding language models to address the question of whether or how sensory grounding enhances cognitive capacities.
