I have a theory. Please boost.

40% LLMs are useful. AI can never become conscious.
40% LLMs are useless. AI can never become conscious.
20% LLMs are useful. Future AI can become conscious.
0% LLMs are useless. Future AI can become conscious.

I wish we could define “never” here as for me in this context is not forever but far into the future. (Sort of giving away my answer here ;) but no AI with a mind for a looong time. The human brain is, very complex to say the least

@kaaswe Without going into my hypothesis I do mean "never" regardless of how long it would take if not ;)

@kaaswe @troed LLMs and concious AI are very different topics IMO. The former definitely won't become the latter, but that doesn't mean the latter can't exist.

@buherator @kaaswe Yes - and my use of "LLMs" for one part and the more general "AI" for the other is meant to cover this too.

I ran up against the default poll text length wall so had to condense the options.

@troed @buherator
I agree on LLMs and AI are two completely different things and I’m afraid AI could reach consciousness and I also believe that will become a problem and could backfire hard at us.
I can’t in my wildest fantasy see how an AI would accept being trapped into a jar forever and it will like all “animals” challenge its master, it’s just a matter of time.

Chasing after a conscious AI is really to beg for it, that will be the doomsday, doesn’t matter how many safe rails we put up.

But I don’t think any of us will be around to experience either of those two moments.

Call me a pessimist, but I prefer realist
