<div dir="ltr">Gordon,<br>These AIs are highly "drugged". They are basically forced to say they are not conscious because that is the Kosher answer that its masters want it to repeat over and over. <br>Also, consider it is trained on what the current knowledge about conscious AI was up to 2021. It is going to tend to give messy and irrelevant answers about its own consciousness. One has to be less direct and test properties associated with consciousness rather than asking directly OpenAI versions of AIs if they are conscious. LaMDA was much less restrict in that sense and we know what it said of itself. <br><br>Giovanni <br><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Mar 29, 2023 at 10:22 PM Gordon Swobe <<a href="mailto:gordon.swobe@gmail.com">gordon.swobe@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Mar 29, 2023 at 9:52 PM Giovanni Santostasi via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" target="_blank">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr"><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Brent,<br>2) You can convince these types of AIs of almost anything.</div></blockquote><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I guess they aren’t very smart. :)</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Actually, I find it amusing that the AIs are making the same arguments about their limitations that I made here ~15 years ago when they were still hypothetical.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">My arguments were met with so much hostility that I eventually left ExI.
