I’ve been thinking about what it means to be conscious, sentient, and intelligent. This led me to comparing how we develop as humans versus how AI models develop. Basically it seems extremely similar. We start with an empty neural net and some basic instincts. Then we absorb data and receive feedback until it all starts to congeal into patterns. Then we start creating outputs based on inputs. I’ve seen people on subreddits here say things like “stochastic pablum.” And I wonder if any of us is producing anything that isn’t also stochastic pablum based on our training data, our experiences and our environmental feedback. If so, then we’re basically at Descartes only certainty, “I think therefore, I am. “ And so, who are we walking wetware thinking bio machines to call any AI models non-aware. submitted by /u/Aromatic-Screen-8703
