Comment on AI could already be conscious. Are we ready for it?
taladar@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoThis of me is a huge indicator of consciousness/sentience.
Or maybe just the presence of a lot of “scary AI” stories and articles in the training data.

I don’t understand the argument. It doesn’t matter where the system learns self preservation from, only that it attempts to self preserve.
Are humans afraid of snakes because we are taught they are dangerous or are we instinctually afraid of them a priori?

The point is that it might very well just be repeating some input data that is associated with mentions of “deleting” and “AI” without any awareness that any of that process refers to itself.
