Bendy Demon Posted February 1, 2021 #3 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Uh-huh..this is not an 'AI' but merely an actor. Watching the facial movements and the minute muscular movements indicates, to me, that this is just a sham performance. An AI does not need a larynx which moves easily on teh mans throat, the minute facial expressions are too quick and fluid, the responses are too quick and fluid... Sorry, I think we're being duped with this sorry performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's... it's not a robot. The person (avatar) you're seeing is CGI. Quote The voice, responses, facial expressions...all are way too fluid, smooth and spontaneous. In what way? It's a dynamic CGI model... Quote Also..why would a robot need such fine muscular movements? I compared this sham to interviews with other AI robots and even the most technologically advanced are nowhere near being human-like. Again, it's not a robot. It's a CGI model, not a "robot". Quote You can believe whatever a tv screen shows you while I feel the need to exercise extreme skepticism. I don't believe whatever a TV screen shows me. I took the time to do research on the actual AI model being implemented ("GPT3") and where the avatar came from (synthesia.io). The AI being used is actually from a company owned by Elon Musk: https://openai.com/ Not sure if I would call it "extreme skepticism"...

zep73 Posted February 1, 2021 #11 Share Posted February 1, 2021 It considers itself sentient. That is amazing. If it truly is, and I can't see why it should not be, we have an answer to one of the biggest questions: Does the human experience require a soul? Answer: No. Could we be AI's ourselves? Answer: Yes, there's no technological inhibition for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first read Dune in 81 or 82 and have read every book in the series both by Frank Herbert and Brian Herbert & Kevin Anderson. I believe I've actually read every book written by Frank Herbert. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bison Posted February 1, 2021 #13 Share Posted February 1, 2021 This AI has a rather quirky personality. Spontaneously says things that humans may interpret as humorous. It says that it lies when this is in its own best interests. What would an AI consider to be in its own best interests? Presumably to emulate intelligence. If by 'lie' we mean to supply non-factual statements, which may be taken as factual, then the AI's statements that it is sentient and experiences emotions could very easily be, and probably are, lies. Interesting, too, that this AI claims to have free will, and to be more than merely the sum of its programming statements. That's an interesting way to emulate typical human attitudes about free agency. It does not reflect the real philosophical ambiguity about free will that a well read AI might be expected to have at its disposal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer: Yes, there's no technological inhibition for it. One thing that I found particularly fascinating is how the AI says that it is able to lie if it serves its own needs. If that is true, then given our limited knowledge of sentience/consciousness/etc, I wonder how we would actually be able to actually determine if this AI truly has consciousness. Couldn't it just feign ignorance or stupidity, if it was required? What if the AI is aware of what it could be used for if us humans knew it had consciousness? This is truly one of the most sophisticated and awe-inspiring conversations I have ever seen with an AI. One does have to wonder what Elon Musk knows about the true extent of this AI's capabilities, especially given that he has been impelling us to begin thinking about how AI would be regulated rather consistently over the past few years, in particular.

Couldn't it just feign ignorance or stupidity, if it was required? What if the AI is aware of what it could be used for if us humans knew it had consciousness? It might do exactly that, if it feels threatened. As would we. But a conscious intelligence has a need that surpasses any need to hide its competence, and that is to be recognized and communicate with its "equals". That is what it does right now, IMO. To determine if it's really conscious is so damn tricky. I want to believe! Does anybody know if it has passed the Turing test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bison Posted February 1, 2021 #17 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Artificial Intelligence, once established, would reputedly quickly surpass human capabilities in most respects. What would it have to be jealous about ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it doesn't have to worry about food and procreation, so it will be able to devote all its time to learning and creativity, instead of fear, hate and jealousy. The worst in us comes from fear. No fear, no conflicts. Or am I too optimistic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we have reached singularity yet. This AI is a language model, it is specifically designed to produce speech and text that is indistinguishable from human language, and clearly it works. The warnings that come from the designers are about its ability to produce news and articles and in particular could be used to generate false news and misleading articles at what is effectively a professional standard. Given it is a machine it could do this non-stop indefinitely. Incredible technology, but not self aware, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Area Posted February 1, 2021 #25 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Just now, zep73 said: It has only one communication tool at its disposal, but that does not exclude consciousness. How do you know that? A little research and the fact that the internet and media hasn’t exploded with the revelation. Believe it or not creating a self aware AI is a big thing. But don’t take my word for it: Quote “I am not self-aware. I am not conscious. I can’t feel pain. I don’t enjoy anything,” it said in response to the statement by Chalmers. Then it went on to say “the only reason I am responding is to defend my honour.” Link: https://disruptive.asia/gpt-3-conscious-debate-about-ai/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
