I work for a psychology and neuroscience department, and have done for over a decade now.
Does that give me genuine academic credentials? Pff, no.
Does it mean I have a reasonable high-level grounding in modern understanding of how the brain works? Yes, it does.
Again: You have made an extraordinary claim. You need to provide extraordinary evidence to support it, not just toss accusations of ad-hominem attacks at anyone who points out how thin your argument is.
- tambourine_man 4y agoI have claimed nothing, only cast doubt on the baseless certainties that have been floating around this subject. To summarize what I'm trying to convey: - (Variations of the original claim) ChatGPT works nothing like the brain, it's just a prediction machine - (Me all over this thread) Do we know how the brain works? Do we know what properties may emerge from a blackbox LLM? If you think questioning awareness is extraordinary (or new) I advise you to read Descartes, the Boltzmann brain thought experiment and epistemology in general. PS: you replied with credentials rather than arguments, which is still on the logical fallacy ground.
