Raw LLM Responses

I majored in philosophy of mind at uni and the gold standard was passing the turing test. ChatGPT blows through that so now goalposts hastily being moved. I’m old enough to remember being taught in school that humans were different as they were the only animal that could use tools. Just saying that we seem to want to have the comfort of thinking we are ‘superior’ There’s pretty strong arguments that a sense of ‘self’ is an epiphenomena of mental activity, rather like a speedometer thinking it’s in charge of the car. I’m not arguing that Chat GPT is ‘ conscious’ like us, just that the experience of consciousness might not be particularly important
