Reply to comment by BigZaddyZ3 in ChatGPT really surprised me today. by GlassAmazing4219

I wasn’t saying you’re claiming that, my bad. I was just offering my response to how I think about ChatGPT.

I disagree about thinking though. Thinking isn’t simply processing information (which our computers already do). And being a person (which I know you aren’t claiming chatGPT to be) requires awareness and subjectivity. Which clever AI algorithms are not.

Whether we ever could create self aware, sentient, conscious AI, I have no clue.

Okay but I didn’t say it was merely processing information. It’s the combination of both processing the current stimuli and internally reacting to it. That’s it. Thinking isn’t really unique or special. Us humans are just used to being the best at it. That won’t last forever though. For better or worse.

Many experts in the field see it as a matter of when, not if. Very few challenge “the singularity” as a concept. Only when it’ll occur.
