    ITT: People describing the core component of human consciousness, pattern recognition, as not a big deal because it’s code and not a brain. That’s fine, stick your heads in the sand. Rather than trying to shape the inevitability in a positive fashion for humanity, just leave it to the corpos to do whatever they will 👍

      So all you do is create phrases based on things you’ve read in the past and recognizing similar interactions between other people and recreating them? 🤔

        No we also transfer generic material to similar looking (but not too similar looking) people and then teach those new people the pattern matching.

        My point: Reductionism just isn’t useful when discussing intelligence.

          Forming your own thoughts because you reasoned by yourself?

          AI just goes “I’ve seen X before, someone answered Y, therefore I will answer Y.” In its current state it can’t decide “I’ll answer something nonsensical just for the lulz” because it doesn’t know if Y is right or wrong, it just knows that over billions of lines of texts it has seen X with Y most often so X = Y. If X was always answered with a nonsensical answer it would repeat it even if it has access to information that proves that answer wrong. Which is also why there’s a lot of bad info being shared by AI.
