I believe actual thinking is non-computational but also that artificial neural nets can be made to emulate it at a lossless quality and that text based GPT models are basically year 1 Mp3 quality.
But lossless isn’t lossless. It’s just digitally lossless. The metaphor here would be more like analog conversion, where a FLAC copy of a vinyl isn’t exactly the same as the vinyl.
I think. Idk. I’m overthinking the metaphor without really knowing what a soul is or anything.

… and now I’m starting to overthink it. Thanks.
