Comment on Recent conversations between Dawkins and sentient chat-bot Claudia (Claude)

The best we know, is that advanced information processing through neural network information structures appears correlated with qualia.

LLMs are probability models. They are not alive. They don’t feel anything.

You’re a probability model. Your brain is just spitting out an approximation of the most likely actions to get you food and sex. If you don’t get enough food and sex, your genes die out and evolution tries again with an iteration of a more successful model. All those neurons are just a fancy way of calculating how to eat more bananas and chase more poontang. You’re nothing more than a mathematical equation for reproduction.

Nope. We aren’t. Infact humans don’t work like that at all.
It’s actually amazing we ever learned actual probability math since it goes against our nature.

If that was true then consent is meaningless because people are just predictive models with no agency to give consent.
Maybe your comparison is terrible?

This is true if one maintains the assumption that predictive models (such as people) can’t experience qualia such as pain. My intend was to disabuse you and daannii of this silly notion. Obviously mathematical models can experience pain, because you’re a mathematical model and you can experience pain.
