And here come the techbros to dehumanize themselves.
You and I feel. We don't just generate outputs from inputs, we experience them. The color red isn't just a datapoint recorded by photoreceptors, it's a phenomenal experience that "I", the self, experience as a being-in-the-world. Further, the color red that I experience is not the same as the color red you experience, even though it's the same color at the same wavelength. Everything we think and feel relates to everything else, and while I can imagine how you might experience the color red and you can provide me with data points to make it easier for me to imagine it, that imagination will always be tainted by my own subjective experience.
To me it looks like you hold a lot of pride in being a human and consider humanity special. Im here to tell you we are no different from amoebas and giraffes. We just specialize in our complex meat computers.
If you took a psychedelic or a cognitive psychology class you would understand through feel that feel is just the result of you being a meat calculator. Our feelings are the cumulative result of all the inputs and outputs. All at once. Slap some lived experience filters for subjectivity and bam.
Feel is subjective. Not everyone’s a vicious crypto tech bro. Open your mind its a good time ❤️
ais arent meat calculators
I don’t think anyone here said that.
What I'm saying is LLMs do not actually do that. They're less creative than most animals, even if they're more technically capable.
I'm not just a meat calculator, I'm also feedback loop of meat endlessly calculating itself. That's what subjectivity is. When LLMs do this they hallucinate, and ironically while this is considered undesirable I think that's actually closer to creativity than the song this AI wrote.
