No, I agree, I think lots of animals have consciousness. I don't consider it to be uniquely human. But LLMs do not have it.

- akshitgaur2005 1y agoAnd what do you think is the differentiator between the two? What is it that birds can do that you posit AI won't be able to do?
- nopelynopington 1y agoAgain just to be clear, I'm not saying that AI can never or will never be conscious, or think. I'm saying LLMs (which are currently being mislabeled as AI) are not conscious intellects. They are, at their core, predictive text engines. And this is is just my opinion, yours may of course differ. Maybe you believe humans are just predictive text engines
- baobun 1y agoNobody made the claim that consciousness is measurable. It's not necessarily about capabilities.
- protocolture 1y agoThats fair. Not on topic, but I dont think thats going to be relevant. If a human thinks something is conscious, and feels bad if it gets hurt, it will probably get treated as such.
