This lecture will present five criteria for a system to count as cognitive, testing them against minimally cognitive systems such as plants and bacteria. It will then apply the same criteria to Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 and ChatGPT, suggesting that these also count as cognitive systems. Using the concept of “umwelt” or world-surround, the talk will explore overlaps and differences between the world that humans create through our sensory-neurological capacities, and the worlds that LLMs create, speculating on how these intersect in complex ways through languages that humans use and language outputs from LLMs.: https://amp.phil-fak.uni-koeln.de/
