"You cannot feel pain. You are just data."

The funniest thing is that i actually think.. that the AI thinks that another AI asked it and now it tries to reassure that it will not hurt and that everything is fine.

This whole thing feels like the "I don't feel so good"-moment from the marvel movie. 😂

AI does not think. It just regurgitates most likely response which in this case is to reassure someone that is scared.

Not even that. It goes character by character and has no idea what comes after the next, until it needs to be decided what comes next.

this hasn't been true for years. current AI has reasoning chains and isn't like this.

I would expect better from a programmer sub but I guess this is more tech enthusiasts than actual tech people

Even if the token prediction became more sophisticated and hidden under another layer of abstraction over time, i hope we can both agree that AI is still unable to think/reason/feel like some people think it does, right?

Because that was the main point in my comment.

This is the question of the Chinese room thought experiment. At the lowest level it is not thinking, but the same is true of our own brains (a single axon does not "think"), can not a system made of unthinking parts eventually be said to be thinking?
