What's wrong with that? If it quacks like a duck... it's just a complex pile of organic chemistry, ducks aren't real because the concept of "a duck" is wrong.
I honestly believe there is a degree of sentience in LLMs. Sure, they're not sentient in the human sense, but if you define sentience as whatever humans have, then of course no other entity can be sentient.

To simulate a biological neuron you need a 1m parameter neural network. The sota models that we know the size of are ~650m parameters. That's the equivalent of a round worm. So if it quacks like a duck, has the brain power of a round worm, and can't walk then it's probably not a duck.
- anal_reactor 1y agoOk so you're saying that the technology to make AI truly sentient is there, we just need a little bit more computational power or some optimization tricks. Like raytracing wasn't possible in 1970 but is now. Neat.
- noosphr 1y agoYes, in the same way that a human is an optimization of a round worm.
- anal_reactor 1y agoThis isn't completely wrong though
- ffsm8 1y agoYou just convinced me that AGI is a lot closer then I previously thought, considering the bulk of our brains job is controlling our bodies and responding to the stimulus from our senses - not thinking, talking, planning, coding etc
