I doubt ChatGPT "believes" to begin with, not to mention the definition of consciousness has to be provided first (although there is an underlying implication of panpsychist theory). From what I understand GPTs are basically the "chinese room" analogy by John Searle ... although I ultimately disagree with the conclusion of that analogy I think it is apt for GPTs and how they produce coherent sentences.
- fsd23423 3y agoIf you follow what Ilya Sutskever and Geoffrey Hinton have said about GPT4, it could be quite possible that the entity has some kind of understanding it exists in some context. Some internal process, subprocess, has allowed the GPT to acknowledge its own existance in some context. For the sake of simplicity, this process could be analog to a "belief of being alive" or "self-consciusness" as it is empirically understood by humans. but you are comparing a bald eagle (humans) with a F22 (the GPT), they both do the same stuff (flying, "thinking"), but on different scales, requirements, limitations. But if you look to the air, both things can fly just fine. No matter the underlying processes, infrastructures making them stable on the air.
