a category of consciousness AI cant reach.
- erikerikson 2y agoOn what basis are you comparing?
- ForTheKidz 2y agowhat basis would you recommend? Given the rate that chatbots engaging in making stuff up you can't just ask them. At least as humans we can take the substance ourselves to verify there's something happening. I think there will always be an insurmountable barrier to deciding if computers can be conscious, at least in our lifetimes. We're not even sure other humans experience similar consciousness.
- erikerikson 2y agoI didn't make the claim and have no interest in defending or building it. FWIW I appreciate the epistemic humility.
- coffeebeqn 2y agoWouldn’t we be able to give AI all kinds of random bytes and code eventually to make them “trip”? Much easier then engineering novel psychedelics
- erikerikson 2y agoI suppose we could simulate tripping in that fashion but it would seem easier to affect a distributed activation function or other parameter to the simulation. Not sure why you're asking me.
- pineaux 2y agoIt's an interesting thought. I have had a similar thought about AI and consciousness while tripping. But there are many pros and cons that just end up in speculation. Which is interesting but not very productive?
