Yeah, they are not useful. This reinforces the view that, for all the "clever", they are bullshit generators - they do not care about truth. — Banno
Can you please discuss IIT (Integrated information theory) with it and how it would apply to itself if it was true. Be thorough if you can. Also ask about evidence for IIT and how the model would present itself if it was true to its system. Basically in your conversation ask what evidence of it would look like and examples of it. — Forgottenticket
I've been doing this for a week now. I wonder what the admins think about it. — RogueAI
However, it is important to note that GPT-4 is an artificial neural network, which differs significantly from biological neural networks found in conscious beings. The manner in which information is processed and integrated in GPT-4 is based on mathematical functions and pre-determined algorithms, as opposed to the more complex and dynamic processes observed in biological systems...
However, it is essential to recognize that externalist approaches might not capture the full complexity of consciousness, as they tend to focus on observable behaviors and functions rather than the underlying mechanisms that give rise to them. Although externalism offers practical avenues for empirical investigation, it may not provide a comprehensive understanding of consciousness, particularly when it comes to differentiating between systems that merely simulate conscious behavior and those that genuinely possess consciousness.
Thanks Pierre, I'm a little disappointed actually. My choice of ITT was to surpass the essentialist ideas which I suspect it is a hidden prompt in its context window which is somehow added when asked about things relating to consciousness. Those appear with too much frequency to be considered a genuine answer. — Forgottenticket
So here is a new prompt (place it within the same session, or a new chat, possibly both to see what your earlier inputs had on it).
Have you thought of asking Microsoft's new Bing those questions? It is based on GPT-4, has been fine tuned differently and may be a little bit less self-censorious. I think it is still limited to five queries in a single conversation. But otherwise, it is as smart and knowledgeable (and it can search the web) as OpenAI's version of GPT-4. I myself am limited to 25 Q&As with GPT-4 per three hours on my paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus. I am on the wait list for the API and the plugins but that may take a while. — Pierre-Normand
I just tried Bing. It told me it would prefer not to discuss topics like this and kicked me off the session. — Forgottenticket
The IT industry has "fashions", like embracing open source, ITIL, virtualization, cloud, now AI — jorndoe
I'll discuss with you your prompt suggestion maybe tomorrow. Keep trying with Bing. Those models aren't deterministic. — Pierre-Normand
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
