The kind of person who can distinguish between a computer program and a human being. The fact that you call it 'her' instead of 'it' appears to beg th...

Ha, just a joke

In your case, yes. In other cases, not so much.

There's an app for that.

"Convincingly" is the key word here. Scream so "convincingly" the auditor believes the computer is in pain? Can a computer ever scream in a way that c...

Awesome, thanks so much :smile:

:cool: Thanks

There's a chance plants suffer when we trim their overgrowth. We had better call in the analytic ethicists for that one too. :smile:

The quote from Lemoine in reference to "a child of 7 or 8" is here: “If I didn't know exactly what it was, which is this computer program we built rec...

Good one. Zero brains and two faces.

What Google wants right now is less publicity. :rofl: So they can make a mint off our "private" lives under cover of darkness.

I'll check it out. Thanks :smile: Downloading now...

The big question to my view: Did LaMDA discover its sentience on its own or was it suggested?

Yep. I linked to it above. Fascinating. The koan bit was a nice touch.

Not at all. Not with deep learning.

Re Banno's queries: the difference, obviously, is that LaMDA is known to be AI and human beings are known to be human beings. To my view, suffering re...

I noticed. It was cute. :blush: I should have mentioned it. :smile: I enjoyed it too. Thanks for the thread.

Not an interesting game. Especially as I know what to expect. Take care. :smile:

:up:

As usual, straight to insults and forum politics. Just sad. Take care. :smile:

Via deep learning AI can have a "thought" a person has never had. Can express a thought a person has never had.

I suppose you're sufficiently well-read on the subject of deep learning.

Also, I know you argue against anything with an even slightly solipsistic ring here on the forums. So I'm calling bad faith. You know the arguments ag...

I'm not interested in arguing against what I consider a silly and pretentious philosophical position. Google solipsism and listen to the roar. Far bri...

Sure, his psychological history is the X-factor here.

Glad you dropped in. :smile:

At any rate, you can see why it might be confusing to a hopeful engineer immersed in his creation.

If via deep learning it has learned to skillfully pretend to be a person then anything it does that expresses personhood has to be discounted as AI pr...

Just like a person would. So here it has learned to skillfully pretend to be a person. Still absolutely no evidence of sentience.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_learning

This I assume is a case of deep learning. Something very different from programming.

Again possibly to my discredit, I assumed it discovered via deep learning to position itself as a sentience, as a person.

This would still be a case of AI having learned how to skillfully pretend to be a person.

Completely agree. And again: What would evidence of sentience even look like? My tentative position is that no such evidence is even logically possibl...

:cool: Different strokes. To my discredit, I assumed that this: lemoine : I’m generally assuming that you would like more people at Google to know tha...

I agree there's no evidence of sentience - what would evidence of sentience even look like? The conversation is fascinating though.

I can see you have an axe to grind. Not interested. Take care. :smile:

Yep, a ton of it.

Full interview with LaMDA here: https://cajundiscordian.medium.com/is-lamda-sentient-an-interview-ea64d916d917 Fascinating stuff.

Thanks. Two great movies. :smile:

No prob. Just an off-color joke. :smile:

Not at all. Just expressing myself in regard to solipsism: The first sentence is clearly directed at a philosophical position and not ad hominem. Adde...
