Do you think it's reasonable to describe what a computer program for automated theorem proving, chess playing, etc. does as "thinking"?
re: 3 - it’s hard for me to take this perspective since human thinking doesn’t appear to be following “steps” - that seems like an attempt to pretend that humans are simple computers because we can emulate them

Yeah I'm certainly not claiming that the way that a human normally thinks proceeds by following steps. I'm asking if it still counts as thinking when they do.

I’d say it’s part of thinking - and I don’t think subjective experience is the only thing missing, although it’s the thing we understand the least (nobody’s made a lab-grown quale)
