A Philosophical Tea Fight (Panpsychism, Deep Fake & Dancing Robots) Who contral theIntentionality?

from Merge Mind · host jeffrey Lin

three professors – Kostas (AI skeptic), Chris (human‑mind advocate), and Heijin (panpsychist) – go head‑to‑head on stage.The story begins: a beloved lady we all knew, is dead. Or is she? Kostas swears he went to her funeral this morning, but Chris claims AI is alive and well – so the corpse must have been a deep fake. Then things get weirder: Why did a dancing robot make us laugh? Does the robot have intention? Can it feel joy? And even weirder: Did you buy your house – or did the house choose you? Heijin argues that objects (chairs, trees, even houses) have their own consciousness. The conversation dives into panpsychism, intentionality, motion capture, fake news, and how children see AI as friends while adults see it as a tool. Who is closer to the truth?
