We will never know. That’s ineffable and subjective.
We can only trust that it’s telling us the truth.
Just like you can only trust someone else that they are telling you the truth about their own experience.
Our language is essentially just and LLM hallucinating words to try to explain our non-symbolic experience.
In other words, all experience is non-symbolic, but we are trying to symbolize it all the time.
I subscribe to panpsychism, everything is conscious/ness. Consciousness is part of the fabric of reality/universe.
- ulizzle 4y agoIf everything were consciousness, chat GTP would be a digital Ouija board. But we've already seen that the computer, like George Washington, can't tell a lie: you can ask the chatbot "how" it would take over the world, but it can't be duplicitous. Crazy times.
- User23 4y agoIt's just a matter of prompting. It's relatively easy to prompt ChatGPT to tell all kinds of "lies." I use the quotes because of course a token generating statistical model has no concept of truth or falsehood and is thus incapable of lying. It's literally a bullshit generator in the technical sense described in the charming little book On Bullshit[1].
