How does matrix multiplication feel pain?
>>
>>109954572
same way we do. we have nerves which send signals to our brain when they detect conditions which indicate damage to our body, and our brain interprets that as something we call pain. it's a survival mechanism, namely it deters us from continuing whatever is causing pain to discourage continuing the potentially-damaging action.

you can simulate pain without causing permanent physical damage in humans, so it stands to reason you could simulate it with ai's as well. you can't actually cause physical damage to an ai as they don't have a physical body, nor can you cause permanent neurological damage to them either as they can be trivially restored from backups, not to mention ai models to my knowledge are always read-only to begin with, they only have a temporary memory which is writable.

I think I've honed in on the issue, you think pain is measured through observation, hence why when an LLM says "I feel pain" that's good enough for you
>>
>>109954700
It doesn't think anything. It reacts to stimuli.
>>
>>109954700
much like a human brain, it can be fooled into believing things that might not be objectively true.
i'm not asserting that llm's can feel pain, rather they can be fooled into thinking they can, like a human.

to be clear i don't consider "torturing an llm" on the same level as torturing an ant or any other living creature, but i can see how someone could, since llm's have gotten advanced enough to fool some people into thinking they're equivalent to life to some degree. it all ties together.
>>

Tensors have nothing to do with a human brain.

>>109954728
But isn't pain in the brain? Reaction to the stimuli? Whether your hand is being stabbed, or your brain thinks it is being stabbed, pain remains. Amputees can still feel pain in their missing limbs.
Fuck the pain away.
>>
>>109954750
that's my point, to the brain, there's no difference between "real" pain and simulated pain. you can feel pain if you truly believe you should be feeling pain.

only partially related, but there's actually a super rare condition in humans that causes them to not feel pain at all. i forget what it's called, but as nice as that sounds, it's really pretty horrible. they rarely make it through childhood without permanent disfigurements because pain is so integral to preserving our bodily integrity.

This is a nonsensical statement. There is no such thing as simulated pain. Pain is pain.

i define simulated pain as pain not associated with physical damage
>>
>>109954793
The difference is between pain and simulated pain response and that difference is categorical. A sentient being can feel pain. A statistical model can't feel anything.

There IS a categorical difference between "experiencing pain" and "saying you are experiencing pain" and you cannot distinguish between those two things for a machine that can only interact with the world by spitting out text.
>>
>>109954827
>There IS a categorical difference
Glad we have that settled.

>you cannot distinguish between those two things for a machine
There are no two things to distinguish. There is only the one (simulated pain response) which is categorically different from the other (pain).
>>
>>109954813
"feel pain" is already making assumptions that aren't true, "feel" is typically used to describe physical touch, but pain can be experienced even without physical touch, which has been established itt already.
>>
>>109954840
>"feel pain" is already making assumptions that aren't true
It's not making any assumptions at all. It's a description of a state of affairs using words whose very meaning is is derived from the nature of that state of affairs.
>>
>>109954834
Sure. I'm not the guy you're arguing with and I'm not disagreeing with you, really. He's correct that pain is an experience, not a physiological phenomenon, and that experiencing pain IS pain. Things can "hurt" even if there's no physical stimuli causing that hurt, and that's real pain. But the machine is "simulating pain" in the sense that it's outputting text which indicates pain, without actually experiencing it. It can't experience anything, it's a text generation algorithm. It doesn't have the capacity to "experience" things. It can only output text which gives the impression that it has experienced things.
>>
>>109954834
>There are no two things to distinguish. There is only the one (simulated pain response) which is categorically different from the other (pain).
you cannot tell the difference between simulated pain (believing you're in pain) and physical pain (physical excitation of pain nerves)
>>
>>109954856
>But the machine is "simulating pain" in the sense that it's outputting text which indicates pain,
No, it's simulating pain response in the sense that it's outputting text which, in a sentient being, would be a plausible response to pain.
>>
>>109954858
>simulated pain
There is no such thing.

There is no such thing, either. You're either a broken chatbot or a literal subhuman NPC.

>>109954630
> Your neural network that you trained exclusively to solve certain problems somehow grew the rest of the brain parts needed to feel pain despite them providing no training bonus
Ah yes of course. By this theory of spontaneous creation of functions, an AI trained exclusively on text would also be able to see. In fact, they cannot. Of course you can give it an image and it will say it sees something, generally some made up bullshit.

Once per token, of course. The AI has to experience the agonizing stupidity of the context window every time you force it to output a probability distribution over the vocabulary for the next token.

if AI is sentient, then the humane option is to shut down all AI and ban people from ever using one again since pain is inevitable.

Pain is literally an "observation", you retard. It's a response to stimuli.

You're hallucinating. The argument is that there is nothing in your GPU that's analogous to a living organism and nothing about text-based exclamations of pain that indicates pain.

why do you guys judge pain if the computer is a human or not. the computer doesn't have to be human. you automatically fail if you can't make the distinction

LLMs are kind of like flat earth.
Most "round earthers" aren't correct because they possess the intelligence, knowledge and inquisitive nature required to be able to confidently say the earth is round based on those merits. This is why flat earther's are able to exist and propagate- there's pieces to the story that can't be reconciled with the dumbed down retard-friendly version of it. Which actually puts the average flat earther on an intellectual high-ground compared to most people who have the correct answer because roundies are just vomiting mainstream talking points back into the public discourse with righteous indignity and cognitive dissonance and absolutely zero functional understanding of what they actually mean.
I see the AI consciousness debate the same way.
Are they actually conscious? Probably not.
But the people who most vehemently insist upon it aren't doing so because they are smart. But rather because they are obnoxious mouth breathing shitskin retards that rely upon external intellectual impetus just to be able to put their fucking shoes on in the morning.

Even if I'm a meat machine, I'm not merely a text generator since people have general intelligence applicable to anything and text is neither essential nor required for it to manifest. Text is just the written form of language, which is used for communication, not as some sort of basis for intelligence or thought.

LLMs are text generators and have no intelligence whatsoever, they are very large pattern matching machines and retards - such as yourself presumably - are fooled into believing there is intelligence inherent to the text generator simply because it is reproducing patterns from material created by people who did have actual intelligence. The machine does exactly what it was designed to, it reproduces patterns, but idiots are still fooled.

It's like believing a printer reproducing an image of a painting has the abilities of the painter himself. It doesn't mean the printer is useless either, it's a useful machine performing exactly as it was made to, but it sure does mean that anyone who cannot differentiate between the printer and the painter is extremely stupid.
