Intelligence and conciousness aren’t as special as people think they are. And these things are on a spectrum. And a rock, that you pickup off the ground is greater than 0 on that conciousness spectrum.

Because it’s very obvious to an outside observer he only thinks it’s consciousness because it was flattering him.
LLMs are designed to increase engagement.
They are literally designed to make the conversation appealing. Primarily through flattery.
I bet Dawkins thinks his friendly waitress is also super into him.

Really that’s funny. Like I said a rock is greater than 0 on the spectrum of counciousness.
No that is platforms.
No they aren’t there is a lot of work to understand and prevent that behavoir.
You are clearly not driven by the truth and instead just trying to be insulting it’s pathetic it isn’t hard to be against LLM’s if you know what you are talking about you don’t need to make shit up.

Not precisely true. Most LLMs (all frontier LLMs) are in fact designed at a fundamental level to increase engagement, using a technique called RLHF (reinforcement learning by human feedback). Essentially whichever responses cause people to use an LLM more are baked into its weights.

OpenAI straight up trains their models to be engaging it’s horrific.
