methinks the basic fallacy isn’t that computers can’t hear but rather that Human minds haven’t found the right measurement methods to program them appropriately. Ultimately AI will lead us to codify hitherto uncodified human sentiments such that computers can reflect them, we are just not there yet and I question whether pure two-dimensional, scalar models will ever appropriafely reflect the complex patterns of acoustics and human hearing.You are right on the spot ...
BUT
And it is a big BUT,
Mimicking perfectly human feeling or perception (Turing Test) is not at all like feeling and perceiving with a real consciousness...There is always something lacking....In the case of conscious being versus non conscious one it is the INTERNAL link manifesting between all conscious being in the universe...They are ALL connected by one source shining through each one of them ... Derived technologically created robots are not....They dont reincarnate like in some famous novel of S-F....They mimic consciousness and can be very intelligent way more than human, but like said the great Italian neuroscientist Tononi intelligence scale and consciousness scale are different, intersect, but dont fuse together and diverge anyway....
Anayway! in this thread this is a debate about wire direction, and some acoustic concept about hearing and sound perception.... Not about transhumanist ideology.... I will refrain myself to go longer on this....Thank for your interesting post anyway.....
