Semantics, but useful ones. By the way, since you wrote '(probably) don’t even have a subjective experience in the same way humans do.', I want to talk about that.
Couldn't llms (or rather generative transformers) sort of confabulate their own subjective experience? If you added other senses/input, just text, that could all act on neurons, a 'memory', a feeling of passing time (internal clock or whatever, this is weirdly a sense every viable human get, as do all complex animal lifeforms). Is this a technical possibility? If a GPT was able to remember and 'internalize' recent input (I mean it passed recent input in its training function, not at all like ChatGPT 'remember' previous input/output that he experienced very recently) and it's output, and you asked it 'why was that your response', would it confabulate too? Would it trick itself? And could it experience 'déjà vu' if the 'internalization' bugged?
- irdc 3y agoInteresting question. I guess a related question would be ‘are human minds something like a really advanced ChatGPT, or are they something completely different?’ Sorry I don’t have an answer though.
