I suspect GPT will beat everybody at least on some tests.

Ja, Ben where I was really going with that idea is exploring whether it is possible to separate consciousness from intelligence.  It isn’t clear at all that those are two different things, but I am no expert on these matters.  We can imagine some kinds of intelligence tests which AI can beat everyone, but that in itself doesn’t prove that software is conscious.  If it doesn’t, then what I am looking for is a way to somehow model consciousness as a separate thing from intelligence, even if the two are highly correlated (which I suspect they are (but I don’t know (because I am waaaay the hell outside my area of expertise with this entire discussion (I have learned a lot here however (and thanks to all who are posting on the topic.)))))

 

A lotta what people are doing with ChatGPT today is just assuming intelligence and assuming away or ignoring consciousness, treating those as two separate things.

 

Eliezer must have come upon this question dozens of times by now, but I haven’t followed Less Wrong over the years.  Eli followers, has he published anything anywhere close to the notion of treating consciousness and intelligence as two separate things?
