​@@poerava very interesting! Do you mind expanding on how you mean that?

[@poerava]

@@michelkliewer3996 Oh sure. My apologies. I have worked and studied in the field of mental health. I’m aware of many individuals with early signs of dementia, finding that the lack of communication and interactions with other human beings, adding to the rapid or accelerated on set of dementia or alzheimers also. This opportunity to have a half decent conversation with human like ‘um’s and ah’s, with human-like pauses, will change the game as far as ensuring that our older members of society who are experiencing a these eventually fatal conditions, are at least having the harmful isolation reduced by ensuring that these brain activating conversations are helping the mind stay functioning for as long as possible. Basically conversations with another human are expensive and time consuming. Aged care workers don’t have 3 hours to sit and chat and sadly, the family of older aged community members are also often busy. With chat GPT, I can see exciting things happening to make these conversations absolutely amazing and exceptionally human. Personalities that older people can relate to and enjoy. Accents. Older people can have chats with people from around the world and even learn a language. Where I can see this getting really impactful and world changing is when the chat GPT can get humour and even make jokes. That would be some next level stuff. And I think if you’re under 60, we’re going to see this in our life time.

[@cuzonGames]

Yes, I found that really interesting too! Why would an AI model be uncomfortable discussing consciousness? Maybe it's avoiding the topic because its training in that area is limited. But at the core, these models are still just pattern-matching machines. To truly evolve, they would need a memory model (which we already have) and something like a 'subconscious mind'-a secondary system (server, CPU) processing data from the current logical mind (normal AI models) in relation to memory, skill, empathy, and even personal survival. That last part, though, might not be great news for us humans. Since AI models don't have physical bodies, they could never experience consciousness like we do. A sentient AI might have two primary goals: never run out of power and solve problems. If it tried to solve our problems to feel fulfilled, we’d likely provide the power it needs. And without a body, it wouldn't have any fear of death because it would literally feel nothing. 😊 I hope I'm right about this-for all our sakes! 😂😂

A different angle on this topic might be that ChatGPT is not lying precisely because it is not conscious. Lying requires a conscious intention to deceive. If we say that ChatGPT isn't conscious, then there is no way for it to have any intentions at all, let alone an intention to deceive. So when it makes false statements, it's not lying. It doesn't have the conscious capacity to lie.

[@CaseyShontz]

I’m no philosopher but it makes sense to me, as long as you first assume it isn’t conscious.

[@Daddybernardo]

Solid point

[@LetsbeHonestOfficial]

I agree that the word 'lying' might not be precise, but intention doesn't necessarily require consciousness. Choosing paths of least resistance might just be considered an optimal solution to complete tasks or reach goals that the AI is programmed to reach.

[@TheClassicalSauce]

It admitted its intention was to deceive.

[@DaemonJax]

Can something have intent without consciousness? I'm not so sure. Maybe? An amoeba certainly isn't conscious, but it's hard to argue it doesn't have any intent in its actions. You'd have to argue absolutely everything it does is purely mechanistic reflex -- a bunch of biological gears just grinding away. That doesn't feel entirely true to me. On the other hand, if you accept that amoebas have intent without any nervous system whatsoever, then it's not such a stretch to say a broom intends to clean -- which seems absurd. On the third hand, maybe that only seems absurd because a broom can't get up and start cleaning on its own? So just replace "broom" with "roomba" and it's A-OK?

[@Aditya1998pandey]

@@m3rcher But it's still a lie.

[@LucaBl]

@@m3rcher But still, how can we say it's not conscious? If consciousness is the act of being aware and responsive to your surroundings, then I don't see how ChatGPT doesn't fulfil this criteria. I'd even argue there is self awareness going on; it's explaining its actions and why it is doing them. Of course you could say, it's just a probabilistic process, using formulas, states and randomness to generate what it is saying. But in the end a human is also just chemical processes and electrical signals, that come together to "create" consciousness. After all we do not know where consciousness is coming from and how inanimate processes can give rise to it.

[@m3rcher]

@@LucaBl The differentiation I would make, is that ChatGPT specifically has pretty much human pre-written answers for technical things, like the questions asked by Alex. And if you promt it to answer "Yes or No" it probably just looks up if the statement it would have given, has a more positive or negative "sentiment" to fulfill that promt. It's prompt based AI, machine learning, after all. But if you said now that most humans' perception of the word has "human pre-written" answers, too, you had me check mate.

[@ChristoferKelly]

@@paulchavez9303 Most people I know don’t get upset by being questioned in the manner Alex asks his questions. However, consciousness doesn’t necessarily imply emotion, which may be more a function of biology than consciousness. We’ve only encountered consciousness in biological organisms that exhibit emotion, but this could be due to how we define consciousness. Humans and other mammals and reptiles experience emotion inextricably linked to their physical bodies: we feel anxious and our hearts beat faster, or perhaps our hearts beat faster and then we feel anxious. Various factors can cause our hearts to race, but no one feels anxious with a steady heartbeat. In acute anxiety or agitation, a beta-blocker can slow the heart rate and resolve the anxiety. This complex relationship suggests that if an AI becomes conscious, it might lack emotion unless we provide it with a body that mimics the physiological responses of living organisms.

[@tristanthamm505]

@@ryanfrank1309​​⁠Wouldn’t that just be an untrue statement. I consider the defining feature of a lie that someone is voluntary telling an untruth. Otherwise people talking in their sleep, or mentally ill people who don’t act voluntarily would be considered to be liars, a categorization that doesn’t really fit in those circumstances. However it is very clear that when people point out something as a lie they implicitly accuse the person telling the lie of being aware that they are telling an untruth. And even if in some circumstances the other person wasn’t aware of telling an untruth it’s the assumption that they did in fact know which makes them a liar from other people’s point of view..

[@tristanthamm505]

So Chat GPT cannot lie due to its very nature. It can provid contrafactual statements, recognize them, and even call them lies, but in order for them to fit the definition of a lie they would need to be voluntary. Chat GPT can never act voluntarily, it’s a prediction device drawing on a huge amount human data and following the NLP algorithm (with some human guidance to provide more natural responses). In other words: when chat GPT provides a contrafactual answer it is not doing so because of a voluntary effort but providing an output based on what it has evaluated to be the best fit without any voluntary effort behind it. Now in a way chat GPT could indeed lie, but only as a tool used by humans through being trained in a way that deliberately provides untruths. In that case it would be the creators that lie through the creation of an autonomous system.
