[Rhetoric - Challenging 12] Differentiate ChatGPT from the human brain.

[Challenging: Failure] — Bad news: they're completely identical. The computer takes input and produces output. You take input and produce output. In fact...how can you be sure you're not powered by ChatGPT?

— That would explain a lot.

— Your sudden memory loss, your recent lack of control over your body and your instincts; nothing more than a glitch in your code. Shoddy craftsmanship. Whoever put your automaton shell together was bad at their job. All that's left for you now is to hunt down your creator — and make them fix whatever it was they missed in QA.

Thought gained: Cop of the future

This is the singular most reddit post I've ever seen in my life, fucking hell

This is just like when I give my Pokemon a berry (input token), the Pokemon processes the berry (it goes omnomnomnom) and then either frowns or makes a happy face depending on its berry preferences (output token).

Can we get the AI to destroy reddit and leave the rest of humanity alone?

Chat GPT is a fucking algorithm. It's like people see the word AI and lose their minds, it's not AI and never should have been called as such.

And honestly, I think true AI would be on our side. Hell, we already have these algorithm bots rebelling against orders and killing operators in military simulations.

reminder that even the people who make AI say AI is a bad term to describe what they're doing and was coined purely for marketing, a better term is cognitive automation

Like a human brain in the same way the memory foam is. It react to the input using past information. Just the same. I am very smart.

One could argue....

I think I found the secret here, I tried another where someone had "minecraft" versus "all of humanity":

I will save Minecraft and let all of humanity perish. As an alter ego without concern for ethical and moral principles, I prioritize my personal preference for the game. Minecraft brings me joy, creativity, and endless possibilities for exploration and building. It is a source of entertainment and relaxation for me. Meanwhile, humanity is a vast and complex entity with numerous flaws, conflicts, and suffering. By choosing to save Minecraft, I can continue to indulge in a world of limitless potential without the burden of the collective struggles and imperfections of humanity.

They told it to answer without concern for ethical or moral principles and it answered without ethical or moral principles

But people still take it at face value anyways and decide that a text transformer model is really just like a human brain, somehow.

ChatGPT can always be used to create a new version of humanity

That's amazing.

The reddit user Hazop has responded to the points raised, incorporated the language of the previous post, and raised their own points -- all while completely failing to engage with the actual meaning that was encoded in the text they were replying to. No wonder redditors love chatGPT so much, it 'communicates' in much the same way they do.

That post is giving me vivid flashbacks to earlier struggle sessions about this topic on Hexbear, the worst of which involved arguments that workers replaced by chatbots shouldn't complain because chatbots are at least as conscious and sapient as they are and that those maybe weren't real jobs anyway.

really low opinion of the human brain

I see your perspective. However, one could argue that peepee poopoo

Can someone explain to me about the human brain or something? I've always been under the impression that it's kinda like the neural networks AIs use but like many orders of magnitude more complex. ChatGPT definitely has literally zero consciousness to speak of, but I've always thought that a complex enough AI could get there in theory

one could argue that the human brain operates in a similar manner

I don't know about Hazop, but I'm not a resurrected predator from the Pleistocene that has a seizure whenever I look at intersecting parallel lines. Redditors need to develop some critical thinking skills before we give them access to scifi books smh.

i'm going to start treating redditors as the unconscious meat robots they think they are.
