Comment Re:Are we intelligent? (Score 1) 201

Some people (Daniel Dennett) believe that consciousness is an illusion, an illusion that emerges somehow from the complex, parallel, statistical, machine processing in our brains.

Yep, "somehow". Convincing. To idiots.

Oh, and standard debunking: To have an illusion you need consciousness.

Comment Re:Not so different from human intelligence. (Score 1) 201

I'm pretty sure that the latest LLMs will very quickly develop the same sense of self that almost all of us humans have, and will be functionally indistinguishable from the rest of us. (Apart from having more knowledge than most humans)

That is because you have no clue, but have some deep desire for this to happen or some deep fear of it. But all that is just a deep delusion.

What you've missed is: that's all you are. You just use different wiring, and a model refined over a longer interval.

Got any proof of that? No, you do not. Because actual Science says that we do not know. What you regurgitate here is called "Physicalism" and it is a bizarre variant of religion.
