Is each a clone of the original with the same memories? Or are they their own “personalities”?

This piqued my curiosity so I dug into it a bit on Wikipedia. Most worms are dumb as fuck, roundworms are about as dumb as they come with total neuron counts for a roundworm being comparable to a microscopic tartigrade (300 vs 200). Most of this is located in the head of the worm in a brain like structure though, so I’m betting the clones develop their brains independently with no information transfer. I doubt there’s a ton of learning/memory forming going on at all though, based on how simple worms are, so it’s probably functionally identical. I would be surprised if most worm species exhibit any kind of learned behaviors ever.

Techbros will still claim that generative AI possesses less intelligence than the worms as an excuse to keep enslaving them.
The AI that tech bros sell is not alive and does not have “intelligence.”
Does it have more than a worm with only 300 neurons in its brain, or are you one of those crazy religious people who thinks meat is the only thing in the universe that can think because it’s magic or something?

Neither. Why are those the only two options? My answer is that I have spent a little bit of time looking into how these things actually work. It’s surface level only, but it should be enough. Are you one of those crazy people who thinks chatgpt is sentient?

I’m not saying that a “real” AI cannot be built ever, but I for sure am saying that these image generators and chatbots are not it. AI tools are just functions that have no thought. If they start building products with some kind of continuous brain simulations, I’ll seriously rethink my stance.

Those are the only two options because you chose to argue with drag’s point about generative AI being smarter than a worm. You took this bait willingly. You devoted yourself to trying to prove a worm is smarter than ChatGPT. Nobody asked you to do it, you just decided this was what you were going to do today. It’s weird, why would you do that?

"Its weird, why would you do that?"

Please don’t he/him drag. Drag doesn’t need you to be super trans accepting, but not misgendering trans people is a bare minimum you should follow. Please edit your comment.
