		The point is that it doesn't really make sense to say they're "seeing" anything. You said `So… are the neurons on that chip seeing? We all desperately want to say no.` But I can confidently say "no, that's totally childish, the neurons are clearly not seeing anything." And in fact it's not even especially clear that they're "playing DOOM" vs. hitting a biased random number generator in response to carefully preprocessed inputs that come from DOOM. There is a major distinction when the enemy positions are directly piped into the brain. Again I share the ethical concern about this stuff. But your blog post is quite misleading.

		Have to say. I kind of agree with both of you. But 'seeing' in humans is also a bit manipulated. Does it really matter to the argument if it is seeing 'red', or just that it is 'sensing input'.
