Depends how your define thinking. The only systems we now for sure have consciousness (prerequisite for thinking) are biological neural systems, and to stipulate that ability to manipulate text is sufficient for thinking is wrong. Cats cannot and dogs manipulate text, but I am quite certain they can think; and GPT is the opposite.
- wruza 6y agoBut isn't it that GPT cannot think in the same way a frozen cat cannot? Artifical networks differ in a very new way: they can be frozen (turned off and stored temporarily) but still not dead. If you define their "lifetime" to be only at training and reflecting-on-input time, wouldn't it look exactly alive and constantly thinking? A cat differs from GPT in that a cat cannot stop the time and lives in a continuous unstoppable realm.
- FeepingCreature 6y ago> consciousness (prerequisite for thinking) I don't know if this is correct, and I doubt it.
- SomeoneFromCA 6y agoThis is exactly what I sad. Unless you define what thinking is, the conversation is meaningless. I personally, cannot even imagine thinking without consciousness, but your definition might be different.
