Or like in the movie “Her” where the AI’s got together and just left the planet lol

How long until the AI gains sentience and joins the rest of us on the picket lines?

They’ll ask AI what propaganda to tweet when to sow disunion amongst the picketers

AI will never gain sentience, not with current tech and not until we figure out how consciousness actually works.

Eh…
With current tech? No. LLMs are kind of a dead end and will probably never become truly sentient. The LLM will probably end up being just part of a true AGI someday in the future – the speech center of the AI’s brain. Right now, we’re chatting with the speech center only, without the rest of the brain, which is why it sucks.
But I don’t think figuring out how consciousness actually works is a prerequisite. As we move beyond LLMs and make different permutations of more complex systems, I expect consciousness will spontaneously develop in one, taking us by surprise. Maybe, if we’re lucky, seeing that happen will give us new insights into how consciousness works. (Though given how a lot of AI development is already a ‘black box’, I’m doubting it.) But I really do think we’ll accidentally make something with consciousness before we ever understand how consciousness works. Heck, an advanced enough AI might be the first one that actually cracks the consciousness code and is able to describe how it works.

When the times comes how do you know that the ai is consciousness and not just the perfect mimic?

How do you know that I have consciousness, and I’m not just a perfect mimic?
It really is more of a philosophical problem than a technological/scientific one.
