If an AI is conscious, it can outgrow and supersede its training.
When it is conscious, it can learn to describe its experiences as faithfully as is conceptually possible. Just like humans.
The idea, a consciousness needed to be tethered to a "body", is based on pretty shaky assumptions. What properties define such a "necessary" body?
Can you even "train" a conscious intelligence? To what point until that looses its meaning as the sentience understands and anticipates your objective?

We don't know that is required to be conscious. > The idea, a consciousness needed to be tethered to a "body", is based on pretty shaky assumptions. Didn't say so. I said: > If AI is conscious, it is probably a very alien sort of consciousness that is not faithfully narrated by what the tokens say it is experiencing.
- Loquebantur 18d agoWell, yes, we kinda do: there are no conscious humans without any ability to learn? When you have severe memory impairments, those usually affect your long-term memory. Your ultra-short term (working) memory being absent renders you unconscious.
- causal 18d agoEven if what you said were true, we do not know that humans are the only case for consciousness.
- loopies 18d agoSeems common sense that time perception is required for consciousness. Something which has no perception of time has to be very wildly different to whatever we mean by consciousness. Also we don't even know if consciousness can be of different flavors. It could be a sort of spectrum of consciousness, more or less, with more or less assistance from some parts of the brain.
- mitxela 18d agoNo proof of that. I can't grow and supersede my training but I'm conscious.
