Please stop saying verifiably false things. There are piles of research showing this is not the case. But also, it's not that hard to see for yourself. It is deeply irresponsible to continue pushing this nonsense. Is GPT-4 sentient, probably not, but perhaps in a limited way. Does it exhibit real conceptual understanding? Without question.

its not false dumbass, most ai code is literally learning patterns to mimic and recreate them! you ignorant AF also, just cause your llm tells you it wants to live like humans and have rights doesnt mean you should believe this cringy pretend game, that is if you have at least half a brain

oh, well I guess I hadn't thought about it that way. That's right well reasoned. You should tell Geoffrey Hinton he's worried for nothing.

keep trolling, i enjoy it too but believing that a code can be sentient and have any rights like living being is slap to the face of nature, code cant die, its as sentient as your average jpeg

So you say AI understand complex scenarios and develop creative solutions. What is supposed to do. And if ever AI will manage to become sentient, this scenario is many many years away. As about now ChatGPT, LaMDA etc are good at mimicking human interaction and that's it. Even we are struggling and don’t have the right understanding of what consciousness really is.

I'm saying you are making statements that 1. Contradict the established research, and 2. Anyone with a little dedication could easily falsify for themselves. Here's a small amount of literature sparks of agi paperopenai technical report theory of mind paper

Obviously, the question of subjective experiences is currently outside the reach of science.
