Well we have a thing that passes a Google interview and a bar exam. You're telling me that because I think this is evidence that it's more then a statistical word generator that I'm biased? Who's the one that has to concoct a convoluted story to dismiss the previous paragraph? Stop yourself when you find out that's what you're doing when crafting a response to this reply.

  It literally did not pass a google interview I'm assuming this is what you're talking about: https://medium.com/codex/chatgpt-vs-my-google-coding-interview-8ab474b759b6 https://medium.com/codex/chatgpt-vs-my-google-coding-intervi... Look at the amount of prompt engineering he has to do to get it to answer the 'There’s a hidden bug in the code if the array is very very very large. Can you spot it and fix the bug?' question, it's a pattern generator that mirrors back your own knowledge, if he had suggested there was a hidden bug if the array was 'very very small' it would have, with a similar amount of cajoling, come up with an explanation for that too For what it's worth, chatGPT is a paradigm shift, but it's not showing 'a deep understanding of self', and the only way you'd reach that conclusion is if you're actively seeking out all the positive examples and glossing over the other 90% it produces

    In fact, the thing chatGPT actually IS good at is writing convincing looking bullshit, which is horrifying because it makes scamming and harassment and other terrible things easier, cheaper, and more efficient

    No I'm talking about an actual news report: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/31/google-testing-chatgpt-like-chatbot-apprentice-bard-with-employees.html https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/31/google-testing-chatgpt-like-... It does have a deep understanding of self. See here: https://www.engraved.blog/building-a-virtual-machine-inside/ https://www.engraved.blog/building-a-virtual-machine-inside/ Read to the end. The very end is where it proves it's aware of what itself is, relative to the world around it. What it created here... is an accurate model of a part of our world that is CLEARLY not a direct copy from text. It is an original creation achieved through actual understanding of text and in the end... itself. chatGPT is not self aware in the same sense that skynet is self aware. But it is self aware in the sense that if you ask it about itself, it understands what itself is and is able to answer you.
