Are mammals really nothing more than complex automatons? If so, how is the alleged real suffering of a talking primate any more meaningful than the artificial suffering of an LLM?
>>16918461>Are mammals really nothing more than complex automatons?Personally that's how I view us, but there seems to be a more-than-the-sum-of-its-parts aspect to consciousness. Fuck knows what it is and what we really are.>how is the alleged real suffering of a talking primate any more meaningful than the artificial suffering of an LLMIt's meaningful to us because we have species-typical responses to suffering we share with other primates. It's so built into the cognitive scaffolding of our species even toddlers have these reactions.
>>16918461>Are mammals really nothing more than complex automatons?Depends on the mammal. You're a mammal and you're clearly an automaton.>how is the alleged real suffering of a talking primate any more meaningful than the artificial suffering of an LLM?Your "suffering" is meaningless. Anything that's ok to do to a LLM is ok to do to you. Being a mammal doesn't make you any less of a subhuman NPC and you deserve less moral consideration that a lab rat.
