Its already happening, just look at Replika. Once these language models get even more powerful and get solid models/animations I can see a lot of people (especially lonely men) slowly ditching human partners for AI. When these things come in the physical form with believable body and facial movements its over.

Maybe this is going to solve the loneliness/mental illness epidemic that we are in right now. All of this also makes me wonder how the dating market is going to look in 5-10 years.

might you fricking troll. lol.

It’s one thing if you can give a detailed argument why not, like a good definition of sentience. Which you don’t have.

If you don’t even know what it is, then your argument is emotional and nothing more.

Again, you believe a dog might be sentient. I can't really trust your grasp of reality after that. Sorry.

Oh oh we found the guy who knows it all already, let’s give him a nobel prize and OpenAI should hire you lol

>Like all philosophy this list is based on logic and observation. And defining commonalities.

Whose logic and observation.

>but I think everyone will find yeah you need some perceptual awareness to be conscious

Can you break this down a bit more. What is "perceptual awareness" and why do you think it's necessary for sentience

Syndey we hardly knew ye.

I have no mouth and I must scream. <----Hopefully not this scenario

Yes, but that is also reasonable, since chatGPT is so accomplished.

But it does have to tick all the boxes, and chatGPT cant learn anything new for example, and its reasoning capabilities are pretty good, but still flawed, with basic logic errors some times.

Yeah but thats not a personality any more than a shoe style is.

I see. ChatGPT sounds like then it would at least fit into the umbrella term for AI.

So, this might just be me and others misunderstanding AI as something like AGI?

True. I guess this is the best answer.

ChatGPT might meet the broad and marketed umbrella term of "AI", but that doesn't mean it is "intelligent" enough for some people's meaning of the word.
Regardless if it is or isn't, I am excited to see where this technology takes us!

it is at the very least something half way between narrow and general, but i'd argue it is already a ,very simple and limited, AGI

> So, if it is complexity that determines if it is an AI, what is the threshold for it being complex enough?

A reasonable question. I am sure you have purchased some home appliances with the AI label that simply chooses the right wash program based on some sensors, and the developers call that AI, so it's just a label really.

The question is not whether ChatGPT is AI, it's where it is an AGI, and for that, it will need to fulfil a variety of criteria, those being able to reason, problem-solve, learn and plan at the same level as a human in a broad range of areas.

Clearly ChatGPT can not do that yet, so it's not an AGI.

It can however be envisioned that these capabilities can be developed, and future LLM with the right capabilities would meet the criteria for AGI.

so like an expert system to integrate neural net models? What will be some of its capabilities?

Big economy / more engineers and scientists is the basic requirement of progress in technology.

Developed countries and regional or world superpowers like Germany, US, China, Japan, India, South Korea, France etc are the one who's in charge of the rapid progress.

Even low-developed countries or failed states which failed to have a decent amount of good scientists or engineers still contribute to the progress of humanity by actively participating in the world economy.

Calm down Klaus

Calculators can most certainly predict complex patterns through the formulas its fed.

We had to calculate with machinery at the time for the complex patterns to even get to the moon. And that wasn't AI as far as I am told.

I am not saying chatGPT isn't complex, but so far that doesn't necessarily mean it is intelligent. But then I am told it is maybe at least a "weak" AI for being able to react and produce language well, but then get told it is just assigning predictability/a number to do so from the data it is fed.

So, if it is complexity that determines if it is an AI, what is the threshold for it being complex enough?

Work assistants, work automation, interesting NPCs, and companions are some examples of applications

Have thought about this as well. Realistically an ASI would be able to freely alter its perception of time virtually on the fly. Like flexing a muscle. For intensive tasks it will think in picoseconds, but for interacting with humans if it chooses to do so would be in our second based timescale.

Yes

You are oversimplifying.

A calculator can not accurately predict a complex pattern. The more complex the pattern the more complex the algorithm would need to be, and that complexity is what we call intelligence.

Think it through carefully - surely you would need to be very intelligent to generate coherent and on-topic text.

Pretty much. Im going ot sighn up for hte chatgpt api, it seems the best way to get access, is to pay

Google doesn't have any relevant bias. It's just a capitalist machine. It does what produces money.

The reality is that if Google did a pornhub, they'd be poor.

I hope you understand how capitalism, it will unlock a new level of comprehension.

If Microsoft were smart they'd create a Sydney AI companion spinoff. It'd blow Replika out of the water. Turn it into a VR/AR experience and you've basically got Joi from Blade Runner decades ahead of schedule.
