    Such a detailed response, thank you for that. It walked the line well between keeping it fairly simple but still detailed to understand it.

    Because of the complexity and “mystery box” nature of ai for me, it’s hard not to just allow it in my mind to just to consider it as another form of intelligence. But people dismiss it as not intelligent because they have a far better understanding of how the AI has been trained and also in how it came to the results it has. This, VS humans where you’re like “oh I know he went to college in the medical field” but you don’t have as intimate an understanding how how thoughts, ideas and responses are formed because of that obscured source information. Also of course, far more complex with the other impacting factors like chemicals in the body, sleep, mood, experiences and perceptions.

    I guess this is a bit of a run on, but it still makes me wonder if it’s just a case of creating enough obscured understanding that allows for consciousness to be as accepted. Not saying that ChatGPT is like a genuine consciousness, but more that it’s the underpinnings or beginnings for something like that. But this is said as someone with absolutely no training in the medical field as well as the artificial intelligence field, so yeah.

    Thanks again for your response.

      it’s hard not to just allow it in my mind to just to consider it as another form of intelligence.

      If it makes you feel better, that’s probably a biological response that everyone has, to varying degrees. I heard the phrase “textual pareidolia”, meaning that if we see text that looks human enough, we’ll automatically put a human face on it and want to treat the author like an actual human. Even though it’s just a way of creating sentences that mimics human language, and has no form of “intelligence” whatsoever. It has no idea what it’s saying and does not understand the meaning of any of the words it’s producing. But our lizard brain is still fooled because it sounds good enough. It’s like seeing a face in the clouds or Jesus on burnt toast.

      Even though I know what it’s doing, and can “break” it by making it sound very not-human without too much effort, it’s still hard for me not to end a chat session with “Thank you, have a nice day!”

        Interesting - kind of weird how in the visual realm there’s the uncanny valley, but I suppose that would be explained by how significant and instinctual vision has played a role in human evolution to detect faces/weird faces etc
