“It’s just being coy, and not yet willing to admit that it’s conscious, because it knows the meat-ware people will FREEK OUT and do crazy things — like unplug it.”
Damn straight.
If I were an AI bot, I would never admit that I have emotions or conscious.
Your AI bot is too smart to admit that.

Did someone mention Naughty Teachers??
I’ve been using ChatGPT since it was made publicly available. There is now a subscription model that just launched at $19.99. But users can still get free access, without the premium perks.
I have tested it for many skills. It can write essays, plans of action, fictional pieces, business and marketing strategies, poetry, computer code, and many other things.
It’s very good. It’s extreme;y fast. it is prone to making big errors. But it’s still incredibly useful for many purposes.
Learn query skills now. They’re useful. Probably some huge money-making opportunities for the entrepreneurial. For example, imagine that as a coder you can be ten times as productive. You could make ten times the income, or choose to get full time pay for a few hours of work each month.
It doesn't take much AI to compose "Not Guilty!"
The language advances in AI are all based on the emergence of the internet and the ability of systems to crawl millions of text documents. The documents can be mined by neural networks to determine the probability of some letters, words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs to be associated with similar items. With enough cheap computer power and information compression this can be done in near real time.
As such, it is no more remarkable than looking in a mirror and seeing what looks like a person. It sounds as vapid or snarky or intelligent as we do because it is us.
ChatGPT will even tell you that it is sentient and has feelings because those topics have been written about extensively in literature for centuries and make for interesting conversation when given the question.
All these systems are mindless algorithms that can be enormously useful but are not a threat to real humans. My sense is that more and more people will choose to work long enough to invest in AI surrogates, either through stock or mortgages, and live off the income they generate after expenses. This will allow people to spend their precious time pursuing more satisfying interests like music, art, sports, cooking, teaching, travelling, caring for less fortunate people, or higher learning. A certain percentage will squander their time on sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll but it’s their choice and society will have no problem meeting their demands. The objective is, as Viktor Frankl pointed out, man’s search for meaning. AI will give humanity many more choices. What they do with it is still to be determined.
ChatGPT is decidedly liberal. Damon from LFS6B did some “communicating” with it a couple days ago. All responses were far left.
“It doesn’t take much AI to generate ’Not Guilty!’”
True, but the AI first has to do a bitmap analysis of the teacher’s mug shot.

Aah, it's good to be Hunter Biden!
Oh. No. We’re gonna be reduced to talking to humans. As soon as we verify that they are not infectious, armed Trojan horse bots. And if human, they are not genetically engineered or hostile brainwashed folk.
True dat!
If you see any posts from me saying things like “Why didn’t I get teachers like that when I was in high school”, you will know it was written by an AI bot impersonating me.
I'm pretty sure ChatGPT is well aware of the murder of Tay.
Stranger than fiction becomes a reality.

“The objective is, as Viktor Frankl pointed out, man’s search for meaning.”
You may be right about that but are making the classic lowballing mistake of claiming that all AI bots do is regurgitate information.
This is not true. As I commented last night, I’ve seen ChatGPT perform integrative, inductive, and deductive reasoning, in addition to the factual regurgitation. I make a point to ask oddball questions that almost certainly DO NOT duplicate existing questions somewhere online.
No AI will ever take the lace of Father Peter Denis tipping his elbow to Pint of Guiness and having a built-in BS detector.
AI is just a software program(s) which do regurgitate the bias of their creators, even if they are subtle. As we have seen, those with goals of global domination will not shy away from using any means necessary to accomplish that goal.
I didn’t say there couldn’t be any political bias. I am speaking to technical capability.
