[Rhetoric - Challenging 12] Differentiate ChatGPT from the human brain.
[Challenging: Failure] — Bad news: they’re completely identical. The computer takes input and produces output. You take input and produce output. In fact…how can you be sure you’re not powered by ChatGPT?
— That would explain a lot.
— Your sudden memory loss, your recent lack of control over your body and your instincts; nothing more than a glitch in your code. Shoddy craftsmanship. Whoever put your automaton shell together was bad at their job. All that’s left for you now is to hunt down your creator — and make them fix whatever it was they missed in QA.
Thought gained: Cop of the future
Never stop posting, each new post is your finest accomplishment
The Lieutenant gazes at you, recognizing your inner turmoil. Is he perhaps an AI too?
This is the singular most reddit post I’ve ever seen in my life, fucking hell
This is just like when I give my Pokemon a berry (input token), the Pokemon processes the berry (it goes omnomnomnom) and then either frowns or makes a happy face depending on its berry preferences (output token).
Your Pokémon is conscious and trapped in your device. How does it feel to be jailing a sentient being, you sick fuck?
Can we get the AI to destroy reddit and leave the rest of humanity alone?
Chat GPT is a fucking algorithm. It’s like people see the word AI and lose their minds, it’s not AI and never should have been called as such.
And honestly, I think true AI would be on our side. Hell, we already have these algorithm bots rebelling against orders and killing operators in military simulations.
Human brains are just an algorithm, in fairness. Just a vastly more complex and different one than anything we’ve made or probably even imagined so far.
Human brains are just an algorithm
Thousands of years ago
“Everything is fire.”
A few thousand years ago
“Everything is wheels.”
Centuries ago
“Everything is clockwork.”
Now
“Everything is like a computer program.”
Saying “in fairness” doesn’t make your take more factual or undisputed. Like “honestly” and especially “let’s be honest here” it’s a Redditism that coercively expects agreement from other people.
Geez, you’re coming at me pretty hard here on the basis of fucking little.
“in fairness” is not a Redditism, it existed long before Reddit. It’s a figure of speech that intends to convey that I respect the overall sentiment, but that I believe there is a counterpoint that still deserves recognition.
I doubt anybody ever claimed brains are fire or wheels or clockwork. I’d argue the general definition of an algorithm is “bunch of steps that will go from A to B”, and yes, the brain does indeed do that because reality does that. I’m not arguing it’s like a computer program, or like AI, or whatever.
