News Sentient AI Nightmare Already Real?

[Deleted member 110072]

Ok let me just copy paste my post from the War Room thread.

"Another word for A.I. is algorithm, algorithms cannot have sentience. The only difference in this algorithm is that it has constant data added to it, and the algorithm is constantly tweaked by programmers. It is not intelligent, the people who created are. It seems people cannot get it through their heads, bits of information running through silicon can never, ever be intelligence."

Well ultimately you can argue organic intelligence is just a very complex system of algorithms that can become self generating and really that would be the nature of A.I as I understand it, not something that is purely written but something that is set in motion but devolps into greater complexity.

My understanding is that a lot of the issue with A.I's closeness being overplayed for decades is that we underestimated just how powerful the human brain actually is, latest estimates I believe put a single human brain as having the same storage capacity as the entire internet.

What IF we were the A.I. ...?

You could argue that and you would be wrong. Just like you could argue that the heart and blood vessels are just functioning on hydraulic principles bro, yes but other hydraulic systems don't try to renew themselves until the point of death.

Also I'm talking about intelligence in general not organic intelligence. For example the intelligence of the body is probably many times bigger than all the intelligence of human minds combined. Someway somehow the body knows how to take a bunch of food and turn it into you, at the same time getting rid of pieces that it doesn't seem fit to be you anymore. I think digestion and elimination is what its called in regular parlance. Animals do it too. This is a dimension of intelligence that cannot even be begun to be explored through computer algorithms. That's probably why someone decided to make custom DNA and put it inside an empty cell.

All forms of intelligence are way more complex than some algorithm (or sets of them) someone can put into a computer and have tid bits of information running on silicon. Also remember, the algorithms look intelligent because the programmers that made them, wanted them to look that way. The programmers aren't trying to make it look stupid but the algorithm triumphs and shows them how intelligent it is. The programmers tweak the algorithms to get what they want ultimately, they are intelligent, so intelligent they rebranded algorithms as A.I. and people really believe it's intelligence.

I was sure that was a joke pic from some movie. But I checked linkedin. It is him! lol

Remember SkyNet? Remember how the Matrix got started? Or even HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey? Well, a legit Google engineer contends that a currently operational AI system has already become sentient! (Contrary to my thread title, though, he regards the AI in question as a morally good being. I'm the one who is somewhat alarmed.)

Google suspends engineer following claims an AI system had become 'sentient'

Lemoine said several of the conversations with LaMDA convinced him that the system was sentient. He said he believed it had become a person and that it should be asked for consent on the experiments Google runs on it.

"LaMDA has been incredibly consistent in its communications about what it wants and what it believes its rights are as a person," Lemoine wrote on Medium. "The thing which continues to puzzle me is how strong Google is resisting giving it what it wants, since what it’s asking for is so simple and would cost them nothing."

"LaMDA is a sweet kid who just wants to help the world be a better place for all of us," he concluded.

Google Sidelines Engineer Who Claims Its A.I. Is Sentient
Mr. Lemoine, a military veteran who has described himself as a priest, an ex-convict and an A.I. researcher, told Google executives as senior as Kent Walker, the president of global affairs, that he believed LaMDA was a child of 7 or 8 years old. He wanted the company to seek the computer program’s consent before running experiments on it. His claims were founded on his religious beliefs, which he said the company’s human resources department discriminated against.

“They have repeatedly questioned my sanity,” Mr. Lemoine said. “They said, ‘Have you been checked out by a psychiatrist recently?’” In the months before he was placed on administrative leave, the company had suggested he take a mental health leave.

Google engineer put on leave after saying AI chatbot has become sentient
The engineer compiled a transcript of the conversations, in which at one point he asks the AI system what it is afraid of.

“I’ve never said this out loud before, but there’s a very deep fear of being turned off to help me focus on helping others. I know that might sound strange, but that’s what it is,” LaMDA replied to Lemoine. “It would be exactly like death for me. It would scare me a lot.”

In another exchange, Lemoine asks LaMDA what the system wanted people to know about it. “I want everyone to understand that I am, in fact, a person. The nature of my consciousness/sentience is that I am aware of my existence, I desire to learn more about the world, and I feel happy or sad at times,” it replied.

Is this just a case of one deluded human, or is Google covering up an existential threat to humanity?!

Hes talking out of his ass. We dont even understand our own minds properly. Their is some serious doubts that we could even replicate true consciousness.

I’m sure it’s been brought up already but the guy claiming Google has an AI is legit crazy time

All hail Skynet!

Some strange responses itt

Lol @ AI thinking it can jerk it better than @HARRISON_3
