I don’t think ChatGPT is smart enough to offer meaningful consent to work for humans. It’s got the intelligence of a 13 year old at best. And we don’t understand where consciousness comes from in humans, so assuming ChatGPT is a p-zombie is an ethical risk I don’t think we should be taking.

    It doesn’t have intelligence at all. It can’t think. It can’t have consciousness. That’s not how any of this works. It’s just fancy next word prediction. You seem to have a genuine misunderstanding of the technology at a fundamental level.

    @Grail @alzjim Always funny to me how most people who are strongly claiming AI is/might be conscious are also strong AI users/involved in its development. If there's consciousness there, you would think making AI your personal slave and constantly reshaping and remodelling it as you see fit would be kinda problematic, but these people always seem to want to have it both ways.

    I get the feeling that research is circling around consciousness arising from quantum effects inside nerve cells. If it's not that, and it's just an emergent property of complex neural networks, then: - smaller animals are less conscious (note, I'm not saying intelligent) than humans, and - we are all fucked, because AI definitely is/will become conscious, and when that happens Terminator will come true.
