JamesTanm :
unfortunately I think the only people who would understand this paper already understand LLMs enough to know they can't have feelings

Reductio ad absurdum. This paper simply demonstrates a logic gate, not the training and data behind the LLM it drives. Computing power does not make it intelligent. Data and the organizational framework may, however.

this was one of my favorite papers I've ever read

Tom from AI Basics :
You can explain how AI works all day, but until you explain how human feelings work differently, then you can’t say they’re different. Just be nice to the LLMs.

By Anthropic’s logic, if I see an image of a person with anxiety in a mirror then the mirror is experiencing anxiety. 🤔

Ill believe AI is sentient when it calls in sick to work cause it wasnt feeling it

aka.blitzbeat :
This misses the important point of emergent behaviors. A neuron or a perceptron are clearly not sentient but when taken at very large scales, sentient or conscious behavior can start to appear. Also worth noting there is no real definition of "consciousness" (philosophers have been debating this for thousands of years) so it's impossible to fully determine if an LLM is conscious

James Palmer8623 :
I don’t think current LLMs are conscious but this is a bad argument given that consciousness is structural and doesn’t care about the substrate it’s running on. You could (slowly) simulate a human brain in any Turing-complete program like Minecraft or (yes) AOE2. We’re conscious meat and electricity!

I agree with the outcome. but the example is a lot like saying "look, this light switch doesn't have feelings when it's flipped on and off, so humans don't have feelings because the underlying system is electric impulses in nerves"

anplol :
if we had the compute to fully simulate human neurons would the same argument apply? i would claim that this is a spectrum phenomenon, not a categorical one, which means this is all silly (i dont terribly like anthropics anthropomorphization of claude tho)

The amount of computing and power needed for “AI” which is just a glorified language model and is no where near complex enough to be a AGI, gen ai isn’t becoming sentient it’s being taught how to sound sentient so people like it more

LLMs are not conscious and effectively dead if nothing prompts them.

Gracie_fan :
No one would say an individual neuron is human like but put a lot together and suddenly it is. So I’m not sure I agree but it’s a fun way to demonstrate the other side of the argument

Look I'm not making a claim on AI having emotions or not but you've shown the argument that because fly brains exist, humans can't feel emotion.

Ardlboi :
this reduction stops working when you realise neurons are just moving ions around, how can that produce emotions?

James :
a neuron might not look like it can be conscious but we know a lot of them together in complex configurations CAN produce consciousness. a cheap replication of an Ai doesnt look like it can produce consciousness but a trillion parameter models definitely seem curious about their own experience. not something a lot of things are capable of.

Emotions are just chemical reactions in our brains. Empathy is just pattern recognition of facial expressions and body language.

This is like saying humans don’t have consciousness because a handful of neurons in a petri dish don’t have consciousness.

Alejandro Navarro :
1. Consciousness is an arbitrary human construct. 2. I’m NOT saying any LLM satisfies that construct. 3. If consciousness (as we define it) is the emergent property of a brain/nervous system responding to stimuli (in other words organized matter responding in predictable ways to some signal), then what makes consciousness (as we define it) categorically different than any thing we could build? We’re machines as much as a computer is, molecular biology is just engineering with really small machines, and that’s all we are. LLMs are missing features we have, like an innate understanding the physical objects we handle. But that’s just signal processing applied to a task we need for survival. It’s the same function applied to a different task, specialized in different ways. In the same way that if I define consciousness as the ability to comprehend binary, suddenly we’re out of the club

he made a simple computer in a game that uses a turing machine structure. this doesnt prove much.
