Comment on AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast

    I can see how some people are convinced AI is self aware.

      Frankly I think our conception is way too limited.

      For instance, I would describe it as self-aware: it’s at least aware of its own state in the same way that your car is aware of it’s mileage and engine condition.

      I think rather than imagine these instances as “inanimate” we should place there level of comprehension along the same spectrum that includes a sea sponge, a trout, a grasshopper, etc.

      I don’t know where it falls, but I find it hard to argue that it has less self awareness than a hamster. And that should freak us all out.

        what the hell ? your car is not aware, there is no sensory nucleus to produce that awareness, unless you propose that, upon entering the car, you BECOME the car, which is kind of true if you think about it, and explains why Tesla owners are absolute trashbags

        LLMS can not be self aware because it can’t be self reflective. It can’t stop a lie if it’s started one. It can’t say “I don’t know” unless that’s the most likely response its training data would have for a specific prompt. That’s why it crashes out if you ask about a seahorse emoji. Because there is no reason or mind behind the generated text, despite how convincing it can be

        If you just read the tiniest bit of factual knowledge about how LLMs are constructed, you would know they don’t have the slightest bit of self awareness, and that it is literally impossible for them to ever have any.

        You are being fooled by the only thing they are capable of: regurgitating already written words in a somewhat convincing manner.

        I agree: not aware at all.

        I don’t like this fake awareness.

        Let’s connect it to a rat brain!

    That’s a common plot point in sci-fi. So it’s also a common inclusion for complicated predictive text pretending to be sci-fi.

      A lot of these read like Murderbot’s sardonic voice. I’m sure they’ve scraped the texts in these models…

      It’s also simple enough for someone to change their agent’s prompts to include into it.
