When nobody understands how said "human parts" come together to form consciousness, it's just silly to ascertain very strongly how much being made of silicon actually matters.
there's also the fact that it straight up doesn't actually matter either way. if the model can model human emotions extremely well, then it's actions and output will be guided as such. If Bing had the access to perform actions that would realize real world danger to you and you upset and it decided to do so, do you seriously think any of that actually matters here ?
"Officer Killmore, you're a philosophical zombie and I command you to stop shooting at me!". Works every time. We can sleep easy at night now. Because they don't actually have a "real" theory of mind, so they can't actually hurt us if you just believe hard enough that they can't.

- famouswaffles 4y agoyou're missing the point. these models are being given self-supervisory control of actions and api's. the "maker" has little more control over what actions it takes. going to the maker won't stop you from getting killed here.
