Humanism and AI
-
Letto da:

Di:
In this solo episode I discuss Artificial Intelligence. Should we agree with Richard Dawkins that Claude is conscious? Probably not, for several reasons. I talk about how LLMs work, why I don't think they are conscious and how a humanist should respond.
Topics:
- (Semi) Technical description of how Large Language Models work
- LLMs are trained on the sum total of human hopes and fears
- Why all the intelligence in AI systems is from human sources
- Why I do not believe LLMs can be conscious in principle
- The Hype problem
- The Humanistic response to AI
