Intelligence alone does not have ethical implications w.r.t. how we treat the intelligent entity. Suffering has ethical implications, but intelligence does not imply suffering. There's no evidence that LLMs can suffer (note that that's less evidence than for, say, crayfish suffering).
- falcor84 1y agoWhile I agree that suffering has ethical connotations, I don't think it makes sense to treat it as a requirement. A Buddhist who manages to achieve enlightenment and overcome suffering does not immediately cease to be a moral patient, right?
- andrewflnr 1y agoTo put it gently, that's a rather different sense of the word "suffering".
