Pet peeve of the day: all the people talking about how ChatGPT is not “conscious” and how it does not “understand” what it is saying, but just putting likely-sounding words together into likely-sounding sentences.
Extra bonus points for using an example of a math problem as a way to show how these AI chat-bots talk about things they don’t really understand.
The irony. The lack of self-awareness. It burns.
@torvalds I know as a fact that I'm conscious. I don't know how it works, but however it works, I'm conscious and consciousness is something fundamentally beyond math.
If physics is, basically, math being executed over time, then you cannot have consciousness existing (solely) in physics. And so I believe that I must have something beyond physics that serves as my "consciousness".
Oh, and I believe that all these other "humans" are also conscious, according to the evidence (such as them looking and behaving, all things considered, very similar to me). So, evidently, they have something beyond physics, too.
As for ChatGPT, the evidence I have is that it exists just in physics like normal (being ANN based and all). So I do not believe it is conscious.
