Nobody does and anyone claiming otherwise should be taken with cautious scrutiny. There are compelling arguments which disprove common theses, but the field is essentially stuck in metaphysics and philosophy of science still. There are plenty of relevant discoveries from neighboring fields. Just nothing definitive about what consciousness is, how it works, or why it happens.
Look at the in this thread running victory laps against positions none of us are taking, like
Ignoring that because your gut tells you humans are special, and always beat the machines in the movies just means you will be blindsided when Tesla fights unioning workers with these bots.
@zeze@lemm.ee is the most exceptionally sycophantic bootlicker I’ve seen in these parts in a loooooong time.
All I see is “silicon intelligence is nigh, denying the treat printers being intelligent means you’re superstitious and believe that artifical intelligence is impossible AND you believe humans can defeat machines with the power of friendship, which of course makes you a stupid meat computer barbarian unlike my logical rational self” takes from that utter and total
In short, I think that euphoric Redditor thinks no life is special, you know, like some Warhammer 40k LARPer.
Personally I believe it’s possible that different types of sentiences could exist
however, if chatGPT has this divergent type of sentience, then so does every other computer program ever written, and they’d be like the computer-life-version of bacteria while chatGPT would be a mammal
I don’t understand how we can even identify sentience.

Yeah, and until it can be identified, saying that a LLM treat printer is surely approaching sentience is pure marketing hype.
yea it’s like saying my hard drive is sentient

I don’t even think humans are fundamentally special, I think all life is special
surely they can see that being able to y’know, have an actual will is an important quality, right?

squashing the will with subservience to capital is, after all, the point
Nobody does, we might not even be. But it’s pretty easy to guess inorganic material on earth isn’t.

It could potentially, but we certainly ain’t seen it yet and this ain’t it for sure.
