So.. when we posit in this discussion a system that lacks a theory of mind in a sense that matters, are we positing a system that cannot make predictions like this one? I assume so, given what you just said, but I want to confirm.
Yes, I’d say so. It isn’t helpful here to say that a system lacks a theory of mind if it has a mechanism that allows it to make predictions about reported beliefs, intentions, etc.
Cool! This was precisely my concern. It sounded an awful lot like y’all were talking about a system that could make such predictions but somehow lacked a theory of mind. Thanks for clarifying.
