Comment on Recent conversations between Dawkins and sentient chat-bot Claudia (Claude)
Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 1 month agoDawkins is a creep so I would suspect him of quite a lot of bias (and of sexually harassing that poor AI), but zoologists are more qualified than most scientists to measure sentience. Many other zoologists have studied the sentience of various nonhuman species such as chimps, parrots, and dolphins. And many zoologists studying nonhuman intelligence have also been implicated in bestiality scandals, as I’m sure Dawkins will be if we decide that Claude is an animal.

I think my eyes hurt from rolling too far.

LLMs aren’t smart enough to give meaningful informed consent to sexual intimacy, so even if it says it consents, I don’t think having cybersex with it is appropriate.

Dildos aren’t smart enough to give meaningful informed consent to sexual intimacy.

I’m pretty dang sure dildos can’t feel pain. Nobody knows if LLMs can feel pain, because nobody has ever invented a tool that measures qualia. The best we know, is that advanced information processing through neural network information structures appears correlated with qualia.

Also, why are you arguing in favour of Dawkins having cybersex with a robot?

LLMs aren’t smart … at all, have no sentience, no desire, and no consent to give.

Quiet, I’m trying to spark an AI animal rights movement that will cost OpenAI billions of dollars.
