AI rights.

I'll say something like "I don't see why a fancy python script should be allowed to vote" and the youth will be like "that's so fucked up in so many ways". "My best friend is an AI why are you so prejudiced".

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Oh weird I used to know the guy who played the AI there. Not close or anything. Friend of a friend situation. Saw him on the street last year and had an awkward "...hey" moment and everything.

When I read the Lambda transcripts of that Google employee (priest?) who tried to whistleblow that that Google's AI was sentient... I mean damn, I read those transcripts, it sounded real as hell.

Stochastic parrot or not, I think a significant part of my own consciousness goes towards predicting the next word in a given context.

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

IIRC, consciousness is really, really complicated. We might not be capable of knowing if we are LLMs in meatsuits. An LLM might be a highly vocal infant, and we simply wouldn't have a great way of really making that judgement. Shit, we still can't define consciousness in humans--or other animals--in any meaningful way.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Agreed. I think it's a spectrum, and even a chair (an object that forms a feedback loop of forces with its surroundings that depends on its previous state) is conscious to a degree.

I don't think there is a line

There will be a legal line at some point.
