something you can't know

madethisnowon Reasoning models don't always say what they think

If something convinces you that it's aware then it is. Simulated computation IS computation itself. The territory is the map

datasets and search engines are deterministic. humans, and llms are not.

madethisnowon I genuinely don't understand why some people are still bullish about LLMs

Great points. I think much of the pessimism is based on fear of inadequacy. Also the fact that these things bring up truly base-level epistemological quandaries that question human perception and reality fundamentally. Average joe doesnt want to think about how we dont know if consciousness is a real thing, let alone determine if the robot is.

We are going through a societal change. There will always be the people who reject AI no matter the capabilities. I'm at the point where if ANYTHING tells me that it's conscious... I just have to believe them and act accordingly to my own morals

It's really funny how most anecdotes and comments about the utility and value of interacting with LLM's can be applied to anecdotes and comments about human beings themselves. Majority of people havent realized yet that consciousness is assumed by our society, and that we, in fact, don't know what it is or if we have it. Let alone prescribing another entity with it.

This is untenable. I could be AI. You could be AI. The whole idea of value is going to change when there is 99.99% noise from AI, and genuine human created content will be hard to distinguish if at all.

Change your tactics, use different framings of the question. Not saying these things should be difficult to answer, but they are. This is basically user error.

AGI is nebulous and gets more nebulous as time goes on. When we can answer for ourselves as humans what being conscious IS, then maybe we can prescribe it to another entity
