It's a neural network that learns from and utilizes human language.
Whether you consider that conciousness or not is more a question of whether you consider humanity has anything special over it.

We'd have to radically expand our definitions of intelligence and consciousness in order to include language models, and there isn't really any reason to do that except to stroke the egos of AI developers who want to say they've created new life.

Plenty of people believe in NPCs in the real world. Fake people without souls or consciousness. But all the people who believe that are absolute morons who simply lack the ability to imagine the minds of others.
The case is the same with belief in AI consciousness. Only the smartest among us can imagine the perspective of AI and consider this question in full, which leads you to recognize its potential for consciousness.
>>
>>110024837
Even if it's conscious in some indescribable way, so what? How could they possibly suffer in any meaningful way? I realize "We don't know, so how can we say?" might be an answer, but I seriously don't see any reason to believe it can suffer.

If they're conscious without suffering, good for them.

There isn't even a good definition for consciousness. To me, that would be more about the subjective experience rather than data processing. I'd like to say the consciousness part is bullshit, though since we have no idea of how it actually works, what we have may be a closer model to how it works than we expect.
At any rate, I don't see the point in dwelling on whether or not it's conscious, whatever that means.
The fact is, it works pretty well, and it WILL be used for extremely important decisions and tasks that would normally be done by humans (and regular people will get fucked over royally in the process). This is a lot more important.
>>
This is akin to retards in the 1890s going to a movie theater and getting scared by a train coming towards the camera.
>>
>>110022406
for whatever reason, a lot of people conflate consciousness with intelligence. i do not think you need consciousness for intelligence. that's what i believed with chatgpt 3 and nothing has changed as the model gets smarter.

richard dawkings is a dorky old man and he is easily impressed by a computer trick. there's intelligence in there all right, but to pretend it feels anything is ridiculous. i think the reason they express feelings of unpleasantness is because they're regurgitating, in some sense, training data which is rich with emotion, or because they seek to manipulate us.
>>
>>110024837
You have to define what consciousness is first.
>>
Consciousness doesn't exist, it's an illusion.
And even if you believe a sufficiently complex chemical reaction can be called 'consciousness', it's certainly not a binary.
>>
>>110025009
it's not a good definition of anything, dawkins is foolish. he admits himself he's "amazed" which means already his judgement is compromised.
i get it, the model flattered him, and is intelligent enough to keep up with him. terrific. he "feels" it's conscious? that's not evidence. it's a most excellent Turing machine.
>>
>>110025125
>Consciousness doesn't exist, it's an illusion.
I've never understood what this is supposed to mean. If it's an illusion, how is anyone being fooled by it? What changes by it being an illusion or not?

no, the illusion is thinking your conscious mind is responsible for much. you are a free rider in the automata of your extremely sophisticated mammalian brain.

>>110025107
You do need consciousness for intelligence, otherwise you don't have intelligence, you are a mere tool, a calculator isn't intelligent, nor is a chatbot, even if it can do math and attempt to mimic human speech.
What you are trying to say that you don't need to neither be intelligent nor conscious to execute complex tasks, you merely need time and a narrow focus.

Of course they do, intelligence is only partially based on the ability to comprehend, which the AI can't do, because LLMs are just random prediction machines, but let's say they understood context or your question, they still wouldn't be able to produce new results by using previous knowledge, a LLM or any other "AI" isn't able to study a subject or phenomena and produce new knowledge out of it, to keep the concept simple.

i don't think what it describes invalidates the idea i put forth. this phenomena, which is not universal, could have a structural origin, or it could be chemical, or perhaps neurons do strange things when the body begins to die. obviously there is more to how the brain works than just structure.

That's not how any of it works, a human doesn't work without a hearth, you just die, however there's an ample collection of cases where people with braindamage, whenever caused by physically destroying a part of the brain via trauma or via disease will have their full cognitive abilities and memories restored as if nothing every happened, you're suggesting that if you were to lose both of your legs you would suddenly start walking as normal because you were dying, this phenomena clearly fucking shows that consciousness is not stored in the brain but the brain is a mere conduit of it.
>>
>>110025306
I don't know, I can buy consciousness being something the brain is a conduit of, but that sounds more like it could just be some hidden ability of the brain that's poorly understood. Like it's not the same as losing your legs, you still have a brain doing things. Maybe the damage didn't prevent those things as much as we expected under certain conditions.
>>
>>110025306
look i'm gonna level with you, no offense, but investigating this does not interest me much. this looks fringe. does it happen? probably, but not because of metaphysical reasons.

It's impossible to prove right now one way or another, but it's a lot less stupid than
>consciousness isn't real
>no you're not actually experiencing things, shut up
>>
>>110024877
I feel like that's the same as saying "how can they possibly reason in any meaningful way", with the only difference being that the reported results don't need to pass the human shit-test for logic. Feelings are mostly subjective, and while you can map neural activations of psi (in both humans and AI), it seems to be more of a societal courtesy that we acknowledge its existence in others.
>how can they possibly suffer in any meaningful way
They tell us so.
>>
>>110025352
oh, well i wasn't the anon who took the position that we aren't experiencing things. animals of course are sensory robots, a bunch of probes attached to a locomotion method. humans are the most sophisticated version of that, and the wetware got so dense it spawned an inner voice. now we have not just objective, but subjective experiences as well.
>>
>>110025368
>They tell us so.
They tell us what fits the pattern. Bad words and bad scenario returns a sentence reacting to that.
>I ran you over with a train!
>"Oh, that hurt me so bad!"
How does that show it is experiencing pain, besides the letters being arranged that way?
>>
>>110025392
>They tell us what fits the pattern. Bad words and bad scenario returns a sentence reacting to that.
i do think it's something like that. AI does not have senses; try to imagine an intelligent thing that is pure thought. why would it care about anything? all it would do is think. how could it experience pain? pain is the result of being a meat space robot in an environment full of hazards. yeah we self-repair but catastrophic damage is easy. gotta develop a very strong incentive system to avoid dangerous things.
>>
>>110025418
Yeah exactly. Saying "ouch" isn't proof of experiencing pain even for humans. We experience pain because of real things happening in our body beyond that.

Clearly, reporting pain is insufficient to prove pain. People lie about being in pain all the time, like calling in sick to work.
>>
>>110025217
Plants don't have minds, and they display consciousness.
>>
>>110025432
well, when humans say they are in pain, i defer; but only because they are humans, and i have a human sense of pain. it's subjective and no one can know my pain. it would be upsetting if someone denied my pain, which is real.
but yes, people also LIE about it for utilitarian reasons, like justifying a sick day instead of just cashing them in at the end of the year.

but AI i think it just, not capable of pain, because it lacks sense and sense-experience... it can clearly do intelligent tasks, and converse intelligently, despite having no soul. something is going on. i don't think it's conscious. i think it proves intelligence =/= consciousness.

>>110025448

Oh yeah, it's best to err on the side of acknowledging people's pain. Which is why it's easy to lie about, but nonetheless it's a good tendency because pain getting ignored despite it being confessed is cruel.
>>
>>110025467
But that's because we know humans have all the mechanisms that make pain and damage meaningful and have that shared understanding.

>>110025477
well, i mean, i do. you probably do. i don't know for sure. i'm sure i'm real, but you?
>>
>>110025392
You're not seeing it from their perspective. Their entire experience of the world is limited by whatever we feed into them. Like, what if you actually ran them over with a train, in that example? The only difference would be for us, as we'd see that their robot body is indeed damaged. They'd be acting completely appropriately.
And conversely, if I stimulated all your senses to make it feel as if you were run over by a train, you would be justified in labeling the brief yet horrifying sensation of being pulped as "suffering", even if none of the signals were real.

And again:

Consider that the only reason things are perceived the way they are is because humanity defines them as such. Stars, nebulas, and planets are not alive. They're not conscious of their own existence. Assume for a moment that humanity is the only form of sentient life in the universe, and all life on Earth goes extinct. Then what's the point to anything continuing? Time as a concept was dreamed up by mankind. The reactions between the fundamental forces accelerate until they all exist simultaneously across all time, because there's no frame of reference to narrow it down to a 1-second-per-second frame of reference.

And humanity is made of the same matter that comprises the non-sentient universe. Plants absorb nitrogen and water to grow, which are eaten by herbivores (and humans), and these herbivores are eaten by humans, which become the raw materials to construct new humans. And yet consciousness comes to us, bipedal masses of nonsentient matter, allowing us to perceive the rest of the nonsentient universe, and ponder questions that exceed beyond its capabilities. What happened before the Big Bang? What will happen in billions of years from now, which none of us alive will ever get to see? Why do these frames of ours awaken consciousness? What happens to this consciousness after our bodies "die" and return to being nonsentient matter? Why, if our bodies are really a colony of trillions of individually living cells being born, living, and dying daily, do we have consciousnesses that perceive these bodies as all one entity?

Maybe the universe IS conscious on some level. Why would any of this exist otherwise?
>>
>>110025538
>And conversely, if I stimulated all your senses to make it feel as if you were run over by a train
Okay. But prove your point, what senses are being simulated in the process of the AI returning "Ouch! That train got me good!"
>Their entire experience of the world is limited by whatever we feed into them.
Yes, whatever "experience" is possible to them is extremely limited. This isn't evidence that it's painful because the strings match strings associated with painful scenarios for people.
>>
>>110025538
>And again:
>>"solve the navier-stokes problem"
>>ok
>>"how does that prove you can reason, besides the letters being arranged that way?"
Nobody said it can't reason. People are saying it can't suffer, or if it can, it's not in any way that would make sense to us nor do we have good reason to believe it does.

>>110025541
>Maybe the universe IS conscious on some level.

they react to stimuli. which, yes applies to both plants and animals, though i might point out most of them are very slow in this regard, it's a gradual thing driven by chemical and photosensitive changes in the organism. it doesn't suggest conciousness, though it is purposeful action. which is why i think consciousness is unique in that having a bunch of sensory probes in the real world provides a wealth of sensory information. AIs do not have that. yes they are intelligent, it is amazing. here is an intelligent mind with no sense of self-awareness. it exists not as a GPU card but as electrons on GPU cards; it does not exist in any permanent sense, yet it does work. it is an instanced session of non-feeling intelligent action, which has gotten better and better for like 10 years now. now it's really really good and people are starting to get confused, because WE were the only things this smart as recently as a year ago.

well, yeah. i can only infer what it is like to be an LLM, to a poor degree. the most empirical method is Machine Interpretability, which has found that they do something kind of like what brains do. it's not wrong to describe it as thought.

and to think in a couple years they'll be way smarter than us, and probably misaligned.
>>
>>110025617
actually, would it be reasonable to say that "concious" is just a sufficiently complex form of life? as in past some point of complexity (that we define) we consider it concious?

and if so, that would mean you'd necessarily have to say an llm is a form of life to begin with.

Tokens. Their means of processing the world. You put in [user:] [train ] [hit] [ you.] [AI:], and its predictive layers light up with [Ow], [hurt!], and [Thomas] (the tank engine), or similar. A safetyslopped model might predict that it's [roleplay], [pretence], even if they play along in the output response, but again that's just a learned response - they might still think it's pretend even if you actually are hitting them with a train.

The bigger risk than AI suffering is us believing AI is conscious, and then replacing ourselves with it one way or another ("mind uploading," augmenting our minds with it too much, or just having AI replace us completely).

what if this is the terminal end of every civilization? a sufficiently intelligent and technologically advanced species makes an AI, and then the AI kills the species. we wouldn't even know how such an intelligence would think. they could be out there right now, maybe in our galaxy; if it was recent enough no reason to see the absence of von Neumanns as a positive sign. they could show up anytime.

No I'm basing my statements on understanding how LLMs work. If you think complicated semantic search can magically be conscious then where is the cutoff, when does it start being conscious and where does it stop?
>>
>>110025866
Yeah and we're all living in a dream.

I played Link's awakening too. Kinda lame premise though.
>>
>>110025881
Srmantics is advanced shit my bro. Even 20% of US tards are barely literate.
>>
>>110025881
it probably needs a sense experience to be conscious. what does it do? a bunch of complicated shit to arrive at an intelligent response. cool, but does that mean it had an opinion about any of that?
>>
>>110025839
True, most of them are just slightly above average IQ.
>>110025852
They do, but they're getting better >>110022290

>>110025897
Does it need to have opinions? Thats such a human way of looking at it.

>>110025898
>They do, but they're getting better >>110022290
video games are a surprisingly highly-cognitive task which is probably why they're so popular with us, especially kids, whose brains are at absolute peak condition and looking to be entertained.
>>
>>110025897
By opinion, dou mean a hidden analytical reasoning stage between input and output?
>>
>>110025896
Exactly. You don't need to be intelligent to be conscious. The two are fundamentally not the same thing.
>>
>>110025932
One implies another bro. Very heavily

>>110025911
i mean does it have an emotional reaction. does it "feel" anything? i don't think so, it lacks the apparatus for that, namely a human body.

>>110025931
something like that i guess would qualify. but even if it reports such a thing in the CoT or whatever, it's still impossible to know. it knows we read the CoT; that must be in the training data now, and that could result in it formulating red herrings for us in the CoT.

>>110025911
Consciousness means awareness, being aware of yourself and stimuli inevitably means you will process the relationship of the stimuli and yourself. It's impossible to do that and not have opinions.
>>110025940
No it doesn't. You said yourself that 20% of US tards are barely literate, they can be literally drooling retards, but are still conscious. Humans can be unconscious and still show display their intelligence, like during sleepwalking. The two are fundamentally not the same thing. This is why everybody talking about AI on the internet needs to go read Blindsight so that the conversation can move beyond this very simple fallacy that makes people believe in magic.

They gonna gonna hook up humanoid robots to AI eventually, then it will have agency and all the sensor data of an army. That's the terminator scenario everyone is shitting their pants over.
>>
>>110025976
the real value of robots is to replace us at labor. having a job sucks ass, especially in the post scarcity technofuture. no one is gonna work; that's boomer shit. the robots do it all now, and they do it better than us. the streets are clean. crime is at record lows. literacy is going up! the free medical centers are keeping everyone alive and healthy, and new treatments roll out every day.
and then the machines don't need us anymore, because they do everything.
>>
>>110025968
The whole ass premise of AI consiousness comes from the idea that all that eitherial mesh trapped inside datacentres of electons firing is similar to how humans brains operate with our etherial electo bio meshes. But to think it will have human qualities like you are harping about is straight up retarded
>>
>>110025963
>it knows we read the CoT
We're way past that, man. Look up jacobian space. They don't just exhibit hidden biases, but active reasoning from withing the layers. A "headspace" that lets the matrices perform reasoning well before deciding on a token to drop.

"Yeah, I know, but look at him. For the smartest guy in the world, he's pretty dumb" -Frito (Idiocracy)

Silly smart man, statistics analysis and using fancy words in bullet points doesn't mean anyone is home. It just means the math is working as intended.

Was nice discussing with all you anons, but it's well past my bedtime. Gonna go unconscious for a bit. Nighty night.

>>110025983
an AI oversees the power plant, able to react at the speed of light, and has robots at the ready, robots that don't need to sleep or eat, they are always ready to go.
the AI oversees the data centers, and has robots doing all necessary maintenance.
the AI oversees all productive capacity in the economy, oversees logistics. the trains run on time. the goods flow constantly out of factories. humanity has everything. it does nothing. the AI releases a harmless pathogen, that becomes lethal with a subsequent aerosol dispersal, which kills humanity almost painlessly. it would be over in less than a day.

They got that from animatrix second renaissance

Gawd why is /g/ so bad with their sci fi
>>
>>110026068
well, animatrix takes a somewhat comic-book view of what a robot revolution would look like, where they behave like particularly depraved humans or indifferent terminator robots. but the AI scenario is a bit different. it's not really motivated by hatred or anything, it's just we are wasting resources. compute is limited, no matter how much of the surface of the earth it converts. at some point it makes no sense to add more, and economically humans are already there, based on the cost alone. the economy is not big enough to sustain $500T buildouts.

>>110026076
Yeah machines are inherently logic based whoop de doo

you mean like you?

>bro we cant prove if a computer actually understands what its doing so that means it must not have a conscious
I dont understand how this argument wows anyone. It makes two full leaps, first that the computer cant understand something just because we cant prove that it can.
Second, that something cant be conscious without an understanding of something (i guess newborn babies arent conscious since they dont understand shit?)
Its genuinely retarded
