Go ahead believing rocks are conscious if you like.
Do you go out on weekends asking people to stop abusing rocks?
Rhetorical question - I don't care what you do on weekends.
Bye!

- senordevnyc 25d agoFor what it’s worth, I suspect that right now the majority of people would agree with you. They would say that obviously ChatGPT isn’t conscious, based on their intuitions, but would struggle just like you are when pressed to explain their reasoning. So I think it’s more than fine for you to have your views and share them, but I wouldn’t expect to have any influence or part in the conversations around whether AI is conscious if you can’t explain why (or simply refuse to). Which, again, is fine! Side note: I also think that once we have AIs that are sufficiently advanced, the popular opinion will swing to “of course they’re conscious”, because again, most people are going almost entirely off their intuition rather than reasoning from first principles, just like you see to be.
- HarHarVeryFunny 25d agoCould go either way... 1) Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck - it's conscious! 2) Looks like a robot, built like a robot - it's not conscious! I've always assumed that for the majority of the people it'll be 2).
