> For example, do we expect an AGI to be able to meditate, or to mentally introspect itself like a human, or to describe its inner qualia, in order to constitute an AGI?
...Yes. This is what I think 'most' people consider a real AI to be.
Meditation requires Beingness.
Neither of those words have a sufficiently precise meaning that you could tell whether a human has/does it or not.
You’re right that ‘Beingness’ and ‘meditation’ are hard to define with precision, but the essence of meditation isn’t about external markers—it’s about an inner, subjective awareness of presence that can’t be fully reduced to objective measures.
