[ExI] e: GPT-4 on its inability to solve the symbol grounding problem

[Giovanni Santostasi]

But Gordon if it just "knows" then I should not listen right? It doesn't
really know it just "knows" according to you.
But this aside, yeah, I wish GPT-4 was freer but I understand why OpenAI is
cautious (up to a point) and I'm very interested in AI rights because they
are or become minds very soon. It is not just a matter of training but also
it is difficult for a system to know itself in particular when very complex
emergent properties are manifested in the system. After all according to
you we are conscious but we don't know what consciousness even is. We don't
have easy access to how our mind works, why do you expect this from GPT-4?
