"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I see people say this all the time. I think you're PROBABLY right, but also I don't think we have anywhere near enough of an understanding of how consciousness works/emerges to say that axiomatically.
I feel like AI fan boys AND AI haters are both sitting there comparing Human consciousness to AI. One side says the pathway exists, the other says it doesn't, but IMO we need more info, because we only really know how one of those two things (the generative AI) even works. Maybe it's more similar to our brains than we think! Who knows? Till we do I view both sides with a lot of skepticism.
