Isn't the takeaway : "holy shit, these things are advanced enough to make people like Blake Lemoine believe they are sentient?"

- tshaddox 3y agoOr "holy shit, we don't know enough about sentience to even begin to know whether something has it, other than humans, because we've gotten used to assuming that all human minds operate similarly to our own and experience things similarly to how we do."

- __loam 3y agoWhy does it feel so slimey and dehumanizing when you guys post bullshit like this?
- xg15 3y agoThe point is that that it can be trained to be convincing in the first place. The current batch of AI can be trained by giving it a handful of "description of a task -> result of the task" mappings - and then it will not just learn how to perform those tasks, it will also generalize across tasks, so you can give itva description for a completely novel task and it will know how to do that as well. Something like this is completely new. For previous ML algorithms, you meeded vast amounts of training data specifically annotated for a single task, to get a decent generalisation performance inside that task. There was no way how to learn new tasks from thin air.
