- Abstract
Under the concept of the metaverse, people rethink the problem of artificial intelligence. If AI technology is greatly advanced, can AI in the metaverse constitute a cognitive system with the world we humans live in? This paper argues that AI cannot extend their cognition to the external world, because the “life-world gap” prevents them from communicating with the external world. And the “life-experience gap” in different life worlds makes AI actually cavemen in the metaverse era, they can only cognize shadows that are incredibly close to the external world, and for the external world, they may only understand in abstract logic, but in reality, they do not understand everything about the world we live in.
