Have you actually seen orthonormal’s sequence on this exact argument?
Yes.
My intuitions say the “Martha” AI described therein, which imitates “Mary,” would in fact have qualia;
Obviously, both arguments rely on intuition.
this suffices to prove that our intuitions are unreliable
I don’t think intuitions are 100% reliable.
I do think we are stuck with them.
(unless you can convincingly argue that some intuitions are more equal than others.)
I have been addressing the people who have the expected response to Mary’s Room
..I can’t do much about the rest.
Moreover, it suggests a credible answer to your question: integration is necessary in order to “understand experience” because we’re talking about a kind of “understanding” which necessarily stems from the internal workings of the system, specifically the interaction of the “conscious” part with the rest.
I think that sort of objection just pushes the problem back. If “integration” is a fully physical and objective process, and if Mary is truly a superscientist, then Mary will fully understand how her subject “integrated” their sense experience, and won’t be surprised by experiencing red.
Yes.
