Hinton is the guy saying LLMs are conscious, do you agree with that as well? https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Technology/Godfather-of-AI-speaks-on-threat-of-te

  I think when he uses the term he means a good simulation of what we would call consciousness -- so yes I agree. It can pay attention at many layers of abstraction and create from it.

    He said: "I think multimodal chatbots are already having subjective experiences." You changed this in your paraphrasing to something along the lines of "I think multimodal chatbots are already good simulations of subjective experiences". I don't think the meaning is the same. A simulation of the weather wouldn't be expected to blow my house down. It isn't interchangable with the word weather.

      I also don't disagree with that. Attention layers can alter vectors derived from learned/read/stored experiences either by others or itself, then alter its vectors to output new relative responses based on its unique and subjective experiences. I think it a consciousness that can be snapped in and out of existence -- but yes... in a way...so can humankind.
