There is one difference that will never change: we human (and non human) beings can feel pain.
- Waterluvian 4y agoI don’t follow. Some humans don’t feel pain. But how does that relate to the idea that it’s “thinking?” My point is not to suggest it’s human. Or sentient. Because those are words that always result in the same discussions: about semantics. I’m suggesting that we cannot in a meaningful way demonstrate that what it’s doing isn’t what our brains are doing. We could probably do so in many shallow ways that in the months and years ahead be overcome. ChatGPT is an infant.
