    It is not a measure of validity. It is a lack of capacity.

    What is the experience of a chair? Of a cup? A drill? Do you believe motors experience, while they spin?

    Language models arent actual thought. This isnt a discussion about if non organic thought is equivalent to organic thought. Its an equation, that uses words and the written rules of syntax instead of numbers. Its not thinking, its a calculator.

    The only reason you think a language model can experience is because a marketing man missttributed it the name “AI.” Its not artificial intelligence. Its a word equation.

    You know how we get all these fun and funny memes where you rephrase a question, and you get a “rule breaking” answer? Thats because its an equation, and different inputs avoid parts of the calculation. Thought doesnt work that way.

    I get that the calculator is very good at calculating words. But thats all it is. A calculator.

        Personally, I choose to believe that the people around me are real. In theory, you can’t trust anyone but yourself. I know language models don’t have humanity. I guess that’s the difference.

          You only have thoughts because of electricity.

          Do you believe in the existence of a soul or some other god-gene that separates us from machines?

            No one said anything about electricity. A calculator can exist on paper, or stones on sticks.

            No one said anything about souls. Please dont make up shit no one said.

            I am not an equation. I do not take X input to produce Y output. My thoughts do not require outside stimuli. My thoughts do not give the same output for the same input. I can think, and ambulate and speak, inside a dark room with no stimulus based entirely on my own thoughts.

            Chatgpt, and other language models, are equations. They trick you by using random number generation to simulate new outputs to repeat inputs, but if you open the code running the equation and learn how to fix the rng to a set value, you get the same outputs for each input.

            Its not thought. Its an equation.

            I am not saying non organic thought isnt possible. I am saying that a salesman pointed at a very very very big calculator and said “it definitely thinks! Its more than an equation!” And you, along with a lot of news outlets, fell for it.

            We do not have machine brains yet. Someone just tried to sell calculators as if they were.

              I mentioned electricity because it’s how our brains function identically to machines. It doesn’t have to be electricity, as long as the results are identical to intelligence.

              No one said anything about souls. Please dont make up shit no one said.

              If you don’t believe in something that separates life from machines, then there is nothing stopping us from manufacturing a machine that has identical processing capabilities as our own.

              I am not an equation. I do not take X input to produce Y output. My thoughts do not require outside stimuli. My thoughts do not give the same output for the same input. I can think, and ambulate and speak, inside a dark room with no stimulus based entirely on my own thoughts.

              Yeah, this is where you’re wrong and I can understand why you think you’re different than AI. I guess you came up with your language all on your own. I guess you developed all of your ideas without outside stimuli. Heck, you aren’t even being shaped by this conversation right now. Lol.

              We can agree on this. Keyword is ‘yet’.

                Do… No, hold on. You just said the stupidest thing Ive seen so far on this AI debate. Do you think learning is only possible if you are an equation?

                If I lock you in a dark sound proofed room, can you talk? Can you still think? Can you create new thoughts? If I take away all possible X inputs, are you suddenly paralyzed, with no way to create new Y outputs? (The answer is, obviously, that you can still think without fresh constant inputs.)

                Chatgpt get locked in the same room. Can it respond? Can it develop new outputs with no input? Can it change its internal understandings? If you leave chatgpt alone, unbothered, will its internal data shift? Will the same X inputs suddenly produce Y outputs, even with fixed rng? (No. No it wont.)

                Retaining information is not an equation. My memories and chatgpts server storage is not the thing that makes us definably different. The actual processing of the information is. Chatgpt takes an input, calculates it, spits out an output, and then ceases. Stops. Ends. The process completes, and the equation terminates.

                You and I dont black out when we dont get inputs. We generate multilevel thoughts completely independently, and often unpredictably and unreproducably.

                Youre falling for a very complex sleight of hand trick.

                  So you’re saying it’s impossible to make a machine that responds in an identical manner as intelligent life in the conditions you describe?

                  I suggest you re-read my last sentence. Perhaps it will clear some things up for you.

                    I am not saying non organic thought isnt possible

                    .

                    I am not saying non organic thought isnt possible

                    For fucks sake, quit making up shit I didnt say because you failed to find a gotcha against the things I say.

                    Do you think the existence of calculators makes machine thought impossible? No? Then why would you make up that I think so?

                    Chatgpt and its program families arent trying to be real AI. A salesman just wants you to think they are so you spend money on it.

                    They are language calculators. They were built with the intent of being language calculators. Their creators all understand they are just language calculators.

                    The handful of programmers who fell for the marketing, like that poor google idiot, all get fired. Why? Because their bosses now know that they dont understand the project.

                    An equation cannot think. That doesnt mean a machine cant, ever. It means that a machine who thinks will not be an equation calculator.

                    We can look at chatgpts code. We can see that it is only an equation. So long as it is only an equation, it isnt capable of thinking. Attempts at real AI may use some equations within the machine brain. But it cannot be a brain while the entire thing is only an equation.

      Oddly, I’d find a piece of music written by an ai convinced it was a chair extremely artistic lol. But yeah, just because the algorithm that’s really good at putting words together is trying to convince you it has feelings, doesn’t mean it does.
