But when you stop interacting with it, it doesn't remember anything about the interaction. But my understanding is that it has nothing like memory, that it processes the text as you're interacting with it. The other thing is Google hasn't really published a lot of details about this system. And I don't think it can achieve anything like self-awareness or consciousness in any meaningful sense, just by being exposed to language. But it has no connection to the world, besides the language that it's been processing that it's been trained on. It's very fluent, as are all these very large language systems that we've seen recently. And the reason is because I understand pretty well how the system works I know what it's been exposed to, in terms of its training, I know how it processes language.
Mitchell: I do not believe it is sentient, by any reasonable meaning of that term. In the real world, the question of sentience comes up, for example, with respect to other nonhuman animals, how sentient they are, is it OK to cause them pain and suffering? No one really has an agreed-upon definition that says, “At this level of intelligence, something is sentient.” It's kind of a colloquial notion that philosophers have been arguing about for centuries. It's usually used synonymously with consciousness, which is another one of those kinds of ill-defined terms.īut people have kind of a sense, themselves, that they are sentient you feel things, you feel sensations, you feel emotions, you feel a sense of yourself, you feel aware of what's going on all around you. The technical definition might be having feelings, having awareness and so on. Not only for artificial intelligence, but for any system at all. Melanie Mitchell: There's no real agreed-upon definition for any of these things.
Zeeshan Aleem: What does the word sentient mean, in the context of artificial intelligence? Are there agreed upon definitions or criteria for measuring it? It seems learning, intelligence, the ability to suffer and self-awareness are distinct, even if overlapping, capacities.
