I think the main issue is that when a robot begins to demand its rights and appears to be feeling pain or negative emotions, it is nearly impossible to tell whether they are legitimately feeling pain as a human would, or if they are still inanimate objects just simulating how a human or animal would act in their scenario

[@alleras46]

Great point. I assume that would all lie in the programming. If it's programmed to simulate, then it's not sentient. The question is about an AI that's been programmed to actually be self-aware and have consciousness.

[@Fork228Leer]

Technically, humans and animals are also sort of "programs", so a real counciousness is anything that can think and learn. It also is a sort of illusion made by constant electron impulses in your body and brain. Global anchors and concepts do not exist: pain doesn't exist, emotions don't exist, it's an illusion. Physical objects do exist. If humans actually don't have something special that makes them councious, then machines can get counciousness pretty easy as well, maybe with just a few variables and lines of code. I would like to know how feelings(not emotions), like feeling of pain or happiness is created.

If robots ever become self-aware, then our best course of action would be to welcome them into our culture. We have so much to gain from adding them to us instead of dominating them. Movies and other fiction aside history shows that sooner or later, those we try to dominate soon rebel, and it almost always becomes way more trouble than it's worth. That being said, a contingency plan in case things go south is not unreasonable.

[@cchris874]

@@youtube_bat3811 I'm not saying it absolutely can't be done, but the popular idea computer consciousness is likely just around the corner has no evidence in its favor. If you think there is, kindly provide it. I have yet to hear even the most rudimentary idea how this could happen. -Do we know the first thing about how consciousness works? No. -Do we know how to design consciousness? No. I-f we don't know how it's built, how can WE build it? -The brain is all chemicals. Are you proposing we pour chemicals between the walls of a computer? -They say silicon can substitute. OK, let's go with that. Do you have the code for consciousness? Can you post it online for public review? Do you have a model for how to transform silicon into consciousness? If the answer is no to all of the above, why would it be likely we could have sentient computers any time in the near future?

[@vastabyss6496]

@@cchris874 Well, first of all we don't really know what exactly consciousness is, but from an intelligence standpoint, machine intelligence using deep reinforcement learning has proven to be quite effective at recognizing patterns and making intelligent decisions. To answer the questions you put forth above (specifically the one about a model for transforming silicon into consciousness) I would argue that we do have a model: deep neural networks. Over the past decade, we have made great leaps in our understanding of both cognitive neuroscience and deep learning using neural networks. We have fully mapped out and simulated the brain of the C. elegans worm, we have researched cognitive maps in the hippocampus and built Tolman-Eichenbaum machines, we have made great strides in image processing with the advent of convolutional neural networks, we have experimented with different reinforcement learning techniques such as DQN and PPO, we have used deep RL extensively in the field of robotics and have trained ML models to play many video games at human or above human level such as AlphaGo beating the world GO champion and Alphacraft proving to be effective at strategizing against human opponents, and finally we have collected massive amounts of data and used it to train larger and larger LLM's such as GPT-4 which has shown to have near-human reasoning skills in many categories. From my understanding of machine learning and cognitive neuroscience, consciousness (whatever that might be) is not binary but rather a spectrum, and I fully believe that current ML models exist somewhere on that spectrum, even if they are just multilayered multidimensional tensors multiplied together using linear algebra and trained using back propagation calculus. So, going back to the three questions above, the answer to all of them (in my opinion at least) is yes, yes, and yes (though the code hardly matters, it's the training data).

With the current landscape of AI, I feel like they might do an update video on this subject soon. Also, I vote we NEVER imbue machines with the ability to feel pain. Full stop.

[@EduardoEscarez]

There are few problems with that, the most obvious that pain is a mechanism for survival, there are people that have a genetic condition that makes them insensitive to pain and is bad for them because it makes them more prone to injuries, sickness and deseases. That for a robot would not only mean that it wouldn't be capable to stop when risks to its integrity arise, but it could also add risks to other robots and people. But there is also the problem that if could not needed to be programmed but emerge due to complexity. We (and also all other animals) experience pain due to some evolutionary process eons ago, and we should expect at some point an AI system could develop a similar mechanism, even if it isn't a true sentient system.

And because of the information in your Life and Size 2 video, I have determined that kids have faster organ (and especially brain) power than adults, yet the adults never let most kids have the choices or learn as fast as they do, which is in reality, too much for them, and the adults claim the kids have intentionally and voluntarily allowed to leave the decisions to the adults. And the kids themselves were convinced by it, sadly, often by violence.
