> The difference is coherence. An actual person is bound to an identity that remains more or less consistent from day to day. [...] Even if those features change over time as the person grows up, they change slowly enough that there is a continuity of identity across that person's existence. What about Phineas Gage? Or sudden psychiatric disorders? Multiple personalities? Alzheimer? Drugs? Amnesia? Not that much coherence in the human beings... Also, the issue at stake is not does GPT emulate "typical human beings", it' more like if it's "conscious enough". > The reason I'm not worried by Bing or ChatGPT (yet) is that they lack this continuity of identity. No sure what about worrying, but one could ask is this lacking an inherent property of such models or just due to operational setup? And what would be the criteria how long must the continuity last to make your argument not hold anymore?
