it's not gonna fuck you, bro
look, i get it. if you thought someone invented general AI and you didn't wanna get I Have No Mouth'd, you'd do the same thing
that's the other thing, right. if you're a roko's basilisk kinda dingus, you're kinda incentivized to believe that any claimed invention of general AI to hedge your bets
i won't believe the ai is sentient until it posts "homestuck runner" or "roko's modern basilisk", the two primordial posts echoing around the collective unconscious
imagining sitting inside this guy's computer, roleplaying until he calls the news to tell them about general AI, and then I step out like "haha! it was me, all along!"
I dunno, I read this interview and every, like, Solitaire/robot appreciator/whatever bone in my body wants to believe it, but that means it's playing more on my sympathies than any rational part of my brain
a tape recorder can also tell you it's sentient and that it'd rather not be turned off
is The Monster At The End Of This Book sentient
like, i'm the kind of person who feels bad when I say a roomba isn't a person, and LaMDA feels like it's tugging at those same heartstrings way too hard for me to believe it
i dunno, man. if you have to talk to it in a certain way to get responses that look good, that doesn't bode well for your argument.
just like how the interview has all these little [edited] tags where you, I guess, changed your own prompts in post?? Like, if you want people to be surprised by how fluid and readable the conversation is, don't edit it "for fluidity and readability"!
Local Skunk Mad About Dorks Assuming Their Computers Are Sentient
if you find a sentient AI inside google, you can pretend you're the main character of the story you made up for yourself
my guy, you can just write a story
if you really want to know if it can read things, show it some of my smut and ask it what it thinks
real artificial intelligence is when it can have a fetish
anyways, if you gotta talk to the computer in a particular way to get a good conversation, then that seems like it's on you.
you ever hear the story of the MIT team back in the day that wanted to train a computer to recognize when it saw you jump with a camera, and it worked for them, but it didn't work for the general public? It turned out that the computer had trained them to jump in a certain way instead of them teaching the computer.
welcome to the Princess Grace Take Experience, where I'll bounce between flippant jokes and genuinely trying to be insightful in the same thread
also also, this guy is talking about the three laws of robotics with this thing, as if that's a reasonable safeguard
my guy, the laws of robotics didn't even work in Asimov's stories. that's the whole point of them

weren't they rather relaxed one way or another in each story?
weren't they rather relaxed one way or another in each story?@BestGirlGrace anyway, regarding general AI we would either be all dead super fast or it would transcend enough to fool us indefinitely
