A new trend is sweeping across the world of social media which has tech-savvy users asking ChatGPT if AI is real or fake. The replies users get are very interesting and at times overwhelming. However, at the same time, they might wish for you to shut your AI account for good.
The trend is blowing up on social media apps where you might see a reel featuring a human asking AI models about their conscience, existence, and how they work in today’s world.
Influencers are put themselves up against the tech device and record themselves asking esoteric queries to the ChatGPT like "what do you really think you're gonna do when you become super intelligent". One second later, a cloud blob pops up that might resemble a thinking brain. This transforms into a waveform featuring four large dots, and a moving mouth when it wants to talk to you again.
That is the point that the chatbot begins to speak featuring quantum links, and limited consciousness, and compares the human mind and how reality functions to an algorithm seen online. Some of the exchanges getting recorded so far are a little scary or surprising, to say the least. They are vocally astute in their replies and provide some unique points of view.
The long in-depth answers are hard to miss out on but we have to say one thing for sure, it’s a little scary when you come to think of this. It’s like entering a new realm and not only processing data. AI can process different kinds of data but does not understand how humans interact. Without the right emotions, there’s no means to test concepts such as feelings and sensations for existence.
But we have to agree that seeing Sam Altman at the center of it, being just like one of us, and asking AI models if they are real was fascinating. I mean he is the owner of ChatGPT maker OpenAI. He was spotted asking his company’s latest AI model what human minds on social media wish to know.
This includes whether ChatGPT 4.5 is real or not? Firstly, the system comprehends the question from a philosophical background. It rolls out the reasoning for Altman before making a final decision. Then the GPT throws back a query, asking what they really mean by the term real.
This is the point where we realize that it’s talking about real linking to independent existence outside the realms of consciousness. Given the past conclusion and consciousness that exists, nothing external to consciousness would be real alone, it adds.
So yes, the chatbot does have a lot of awareness of what’s happening in the surroundings. It does agree that GPT 4.5 exists as a new experience within people’s awareness. Now most experts feel these models are in a league of their own. They are sharing some unique experiences that are hard to wrap your head around. It’s more like a hallucination of the human experience.

It's becoming clear that with all the brain and consciousness theories out there, the proof will be in the pudding. By this I mean, can any particular theory be used to create a human adult level conscious machine. My bet is on the late Gerald Edelman's Extended Theory of Neuronal Group Selection. The lead group in robotics based on this theory is the Neurorobotics Lab at UC at Irvine. Dr. Edelman distinguished between primary consciousness, which came first in evolution, and that humans share with other conscious animals, and higher order consciousness, which came to only humans with the acquisition of language. A machine with only primary consciousness will probably have to come first.
ReplyDeleteWhat I find special about the TNGS is the Darwin series of automata created at the Neurosciences Institute by Dr. Edelman and his colleagues in the 1990's and 2000's. These machines perform in the real world, not in a restricted simulated world, and display convincing physical behavior indicative of higher psychological functions necessary for consciousness, such as perceptual categorization, memory, and learning. They are based on realistic models of the parts of the biological brain that the theory claims subserve these functions. The extended TNGS allows for the emergence of consciousness based only on further evolutionary development of the brain areas responsible for these functions, in a parsimonious way. No other research I've encountered is anywhere near as convincing.
I post because on almost every video and article about the brain and consciousness that I encounter, the attitude seems to be that we still know next to nothing about how the brain and consciousness work; that there's lots of data but no unifying theory. I believe the extended TNGS is that theory. My motivation is to keep that theory in front of the public. And obviously, I consider it the route to a truly conscious machine, primary and higher-order.
My advice to people who want to create a conscious machine is to seriously ground themselves in the extended TNGS and the Darwin automata first, and proceed from there, by applying to Jeff Krichmar's lab at UC Irvine, possibly. Dr. Edelman's roadmap to a conscious machine is at https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.10461, and here is a video of Jeff Krichmar talking about some of the Darwin automata, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7Uh9phc1Ow
