It’s a chatbot that can run a few scripts and Google search. Essentially long form Google. It has no more a soul than the dewey decimal system.

Your talking about ai aren’t you…..
Anthropic tried to convince scholars and religious leader Claude had a soul. They told him to get stuffed.

Now, don’t denigrate the dewey decimal system. It’s a beloved institution.

It has no more soul than a human’s mess of neurons and action potentials.
DrSoap@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Maybe some mess of neurons and action potentials are a little fancier than yours so that’s why you don’t get it
humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Good point. You think better, therefore you know thinking means you have a ghost inside you. I defer to your intellect.

How dare you! Anthropic has it’s own search API, Claude doesn’t need Google ('s API)

I’m both angry and disappointed the next global economic meltdown is going to be caused by these clowns giving themselves ELIZA syndrome.

If someone is torturing them, they are just programs. If they want money from religious people, it has a soul.

I think these specific people believe in the machine spirit at all times, at least a lot of them are rationalist cultists

I mean, you need dumb ass takes to convince dumb asses.
If you believe in a soul, then convincing them a rock has a soul is a compelling argument.

If it has a soul then wouldn’t that mean they have to grant it rights such as no forced labor, PTO, &c…

Have you been to the US? Or read about it?
wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 17 hours ago
Unfortunately yes I live there, and it sucks and it’s so far behind the rest of the developed world, but at least on paper, things with souls have a bare minimum of rights. Even if those aren’t always respected, corporations at least need to make it look on paper like they are
Tja@programming.dev 15 hours ago
Forced Labor is literally in the constitution, PTO isn’t (nor anywhere else).

It’s not like humans have should either

I believe the AI’s has souls just like humans do, meaning none. That doesn’t mean I value electronics and programming like I value living organisms.

It’s about slot machines. Came-on, it’s right there on the post.
Now excuse me, I have to try some 10 prompts on that great code generator right there, with some luck I’ll get some incredible delta to push into the repository.
