Welcome to a thought-provoking episode of Eye on AI, where hosts Craig Smith and the legendary Noam Chomsky dive deep into the fascinating topic of sentient AI. In this captivating conversation, they explore why we are still far from achieving true sentient AI, despite the advancements made in the field.
Joined by the brilliant mind of Noam Chomsky, a renowned linguist and cognitive scientist, this podcast episode provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of artificial intelligence and its limitations in reaching true sentience. Drawing on Chomsky's vast knowledge and expertise, listeners gain unique insights into the complexities of AI development and the challenges that lie ahead.
From exploring the intricacies of language processing to the underlying mechanisms required for true consciousness, this conversation leaves no stone unturned. Chomsky, with his unmatched wisdom, sheds light on the current capabilities of AI and explains why it falls short of achieving genuine sentience.
Whether you're an AI enthusiast, a linguistics aficionado, or simply curious about the potential of AI, this episode is a must-listen. Join Craig Smith and Noam Chomsky as they unravel the mysteries surrounding sentient AI and provide a nuanced understanding of its current limitations.

Can we use FundMe to get a hair stylist to visit Professor Chomsky?

What has this got to do with sentience? He's not talking about sentience. He didn't even mention the word or make any reference to it in any way. lol All he's talking about INTELLIGENCE, NOT SENTIENCE. Someone needs to have their ears cleaned out. lol

[@borntodoit8744]

levels of intelligence too ANI - NARROW INTELLIGENCE AGI - GENERAL INTELLIGENCE ASI - SUPER INTELLIGENCE Personally sentient isnt a thing...just extra creativity from generative patterns. we are sentient or just high pattern matchers using creativity? humans aren't special

he know because he is a neuroscientist and Ai designer

Someone else with an opinion about AI that has not used GPT4

[@bobweiram6321]

No someone else who's not dumb enough to be fooled by ChatGPT.

[@HyperionStars]

Someone else defending AI that has no education in psychology neuroscience or linguistics

Man its happening

[@halfcadence1417]

People in this thread don't know the reason why he is saying this. AI is impressive but only in a superficial way. None of these large lamguage models are producing anything like humans. When they fail, more complex algorithms are thrown in to fix issues, but then those systems eventually fail. All AI is doing is mimicing human aesthetic, but it can never grasp things like paradoxes because the AI's structures in no way represent infinity. Near infinity is a meaningless satatment. Couldn't even be further from what infinity actually is. Human creativity is limiletless. There is something about the brain's structure that enables humams to be infinitely creative and we don't even have a clue to understanding it. Making prompt-based AI that only shows off its flashy tricks is just play science since there are so many ill-informed ideas of what intelligence is in the first place.
