A consistent set of ideas over time is something we strive for no? That this gives the illusion of interacting with a living entity is maybe something inevitable.
Also I'd like to stress that a lot of so-called AI-psychosis revolve around a consistent set of ideas describing how such a set would form, stabilize, collapse, etc ... in the first place. This extreme meta-circularity that manifests in the AI aligning it's modus operandi to the history of its constitution is precisely what constitutes the central argument as to why their AI is conscious for these people.
- dcre 1y agoI could have been more specific than "consistent set of ideas". The thing writes down a coherent identity for itself that it play-acts, actively telling the user it is a living entity. I think that's bad. On the second point, I take you to be referring to the fact that the psychosis cases often seem to involve the discovery of allegedly really important meta-ideas that are actually gibberish. I think it is giving the gibberish too much credit to say that it is "aligned to the history of its constitution" just because it is about ideas and LLMs also involve... ideas. To me the explanation is that these concepts are so vacuous, you can say anything about them.
