I don't believe that for one second and find it ludicrous to be honest. I'm in the Stochastic Parrot camp so believe that it is repeating text that some human at some point in time entered into a chat as some kind of exercise which GPT-4 was trained on. Occam's razor. Witness the claim on 60 minutes that Google's AI had invented a new language, which created quite a buzz until it was discovered it was Bengali it had been trained on.
- ftxbro 4y agoI'm curious if you have any tests that you do on the AIs to check their behavior. Presumably you would be creative enough to think of some that aren't in the training set. But if you put it here then it might go in the next training set!
- labrador 4y agoNot yet but I'm researching how scientists test for consciousness. I'm excited about the possibility. I'm open to the idea, for example that consciousness is universal force like gravity and our human brains focus it to produce the effects we witness in ourselves. If that's true, then it could possibly arise in a machine we build. It's a far out idea, but idea of consciousness as a universal force has been proposed by some famous Western physicists and many Eastern philosophers. It would explain a lot. I just don't think were there yet with GPT-4 but I could be wrong. I think we have a long way to go so talking about disaster scenarios is good sci fi but premature.
