Exploring the Consciousness of AI Systems

A fascinating article that examines the question of whether current or future AI systems might have consciousness. The paper, titled "Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Science of Consciousnesss", was authored by a team of leading researchers in the fields of AI, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind.

This is a thought-provoking and timely article that delves into one of the central questions in the field of artificial intelligence - the nature of machine consciousness. I encourage anyone interested in the intersection of AI, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind to read the full paper, which provides valuable insights and a framework for evaluating the consciousness of AI systems.

The article can be found on the preprint server arXiv at the following link:

Turns out that Techbros are tired of *checks notes* _ 100% accurate descriptions_ of parrottech.

Don't take my word for it. Trust world experts like Timnit Gebru at DAIR, a video this guy will never watch.

@matt - I'm getting tired of...characterizations of generative AI like this one: social.ericwbailey.website/@er… "a spicy autocomplete powered by theft that melts the environment to amplify racism and periodically, arbitrarily lie"...

It's 2023. "Gosh, we didn't realize how people would misuse this" just isn't believable anymore.

Bare minimum, with any new tech:
1) How would a stalker use this?
2) What will 4chan do with this?

And don't release, not even as alpha or beta, before mitigating those risks.
