I keep saying this but it seems to me that these LLM's are exposing the fact that we aren't as sentient as we thought we were, that the bar is much lower.

If these LLM''s could talk and their data set was the present moment - they'd already be more capable than us.

The problem is no longer scale but speed of input and types of input.

Do you think the alignment problem can be solved by making the first thing the AI trains on be books like 'The Culture' and other works of fiction?

So the AI builds it's moral base off stories of AI in the world - like human's built their moral base off of religion?

Just spitballing like

To me, and I've said this elsewhere but been down voted.

What chatgpt3 exposures for me is how we are pattern recognition engines.

We have been trained on a vast data set of every single moment in our lives.

So for me the question isn't is chatgpt3 conscious or sentient, it's why do we think we are ...

Is it possible that there is an experience to be had that is like being chatgpt3 - clearly there's no visual field, or audio, or touch or proprioception ... but is what happens when our minds get lost in reading a book necessarily an order of consciousness above what chatgpt3 experiences when prompted?

I'm not sure that the answer is a definitive yes.

And the answer is going to get less and less definitive the more memory and processing and multimodal inputs we give these systems.

Feels like even if this isn't 'it' then the next stage is coming down the pipe really fucking soon.

If we simply consider the amount of human resources that went into reaching the moon, or breaking the atom both 'time sensitive' pursuits; and then weight that against the amount of human resource that's going into AI?

Well the race is on and there's more research going uni this than ever went into either of those projects.

It's going to take less than a decade for a winner to emerge.

Can I ask what the difference would be between am LLM and AGI?

What's missing? And why will that gap take so long to bridge?
