As a discussion starter really. It also came out of a particular scheme to get arts researchers and science researchers to work together on public engagement projects at Cambridge. And I met this cool pain expert through the networking for it so we combined interests :)

We made a film on "could and should robots feel pain" back in 2017 (ugh I'm old...). Not to answer it, but to discuss different approaches. But ofc this was prior to llms being able to make such unverifiable claims tbh youtu.be/ODw5Eu6VbGc?...
