Well yeah that's the whole problem! Why are we even calling them "tests for consciousness"? Tests for consciousness don't exist and the only reason we are using the word "consciousness" is pure media hype. If an AI reporter even uses the word "conscious" I immediately know not to trust them. It's really sad to see that anyone, much less "experts", are seriously discussing whether or not transformers can be conscious

Anyone else bothered by how often LLMs are being called "conscious"? in AI focused YouTube channels and even in this very sub, comments are getting dozens of upvotes for saying we're getting close to creating consciousness.

I don't know why, but it seems dangerous to have a bunch of people running around thinking these things deserve human rights simply because they behave like a human.

Ah yes, the "ai is conscious because it can do cool things" take. Humanity is screwed

Langchain is kind of a competitor. They probably don't want to bring any more publicity to it, let alone mention it
