Comment on Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become alive
SkavarSharraddas@gehirneimer.de 16 hours agoIMO language is a layer above consciousness, a way to express sensory experiences. LLMs are "just" language, they don't have sensory experiences, they don't process the world, especially not continuously.
Do they want to preserve themselves? Or do they regurgitate sci-fi novels about "real" AIs not wanting to be shut down?

I saw several papers about LLM safety (for example Alignment faking in large language models) that show some “hidden” self preserving behaviour in LLMs. But as I know, no-one understands whether this behaviour is just trained and does mean nothing or it emerged from the model complexity.
Also, I do not use the ChatGPT app, but doesn’t it have a live chat feature where it continuously listens to user and reacts to it? It can even take pictures. So the continuity isn’t a huge problem. And LLMs are able to interact with tools, so creating a tool that moves a robot hand shouldn’t be that complicated.

I responded to your other comment, but yes, I think you could set up an llm agent with a camera and microphone and then continuously provide sensory input for it to respond to. (In the same way I’m continuously receiving input from my “camera” and “microphones” as long as I’m awake)
