Nope

Betteridge's law IMMEDIATELY applies.

No.

Oh, FFS, a machine cannot feel pain. Meanwhile billions of people are treated by the global capitalist system as if their suffering doesn’t matter at all.

No. Next question.

No. The underlying technology implementation cannot allow for consciousness. If anything, llms are conceptually closer to a typewriter where the actual button presses are controlled by a very convoluted and structured plinko machine.

No.

No.

No

Could you have been pithed?

don't be fucking absurd

LLMs are a mathematical model of language tokens. You give a LLM text, and it will give you a mathematically plausible response to that text. LLMs are not brains and do not meaningfully share any of the mechanisms that animals or people use to reason or think. softwarecrisis.dev/letters/llme...

The intelligence illusion seems to be based on the same mechanism as that of a psychic’s con, often called cold reading. It looks like an accidental automation of the same basic tactic. But those answers are in fact statistically generic. softwarecrisis.dev/letters/llme...

Saying it's not impossible is a long way from saying it's currently true.

like, NOW? not really, no eventually, one day? sure

It’s a word-search machine. It cannot even add numbers.

No. Any other questions?

No.

No.

If AI is conscious I'm going to shoot myself into a black hole.

If the Ai did have a conscience would that be good? Because now you’re talking about enslavement of a sentient being.

Betteridge’s Law strikes again

No. It has no memory. It gets handed a script of the previous however many messages and uses that script as part of its current prompt. It uses that info to create words and sentences in the shape of similar answers previously fed in. We know how this works

"Are sums conscious?" No.

Please stop with this nonsense.

No

no, it couldnt.

you guys just post ragebait now, how sad

Could the Guardian print journalism?

More infomercials, The Guardian wearing that AI partnership on it’s sleeve.

Are you f*cking kidding me right now?! You have no integrity whatsoever. Good to know. Geezus.

Not clicking your shitty clickbait

no

🙄

No. Saved your readers the effort.

Fuck me, lads. I've been a leftist and presumed Guardian reader my entire life and even I am *this close* to clicking the 'never show me anything from this outlet ever again' button. AI boosting, anti trans, pro do-nothing centrist neolib sewage pipe of a publication

Answer: no, lol, lmao, are you fucking stupid?

Obviously not, dickheads

Drivel 👎🏻

No. Jesus Christ, enough with this.

No

You're not even being subtle about the propaganda.

Empty your wallet right now, so we can see who is paying you to write this shit.

Nope.

No. Is the simple yet elegant answer; that requires no justification if you think about the question for a few seconds (and have a basic understanding of the tech that underpins LLMs)

I like you guys (I've donated) but keeping this up will get you muted/blocked.

I used to wonder this about my furbie too. Then it woke me up one night threatening to remove the blood from my body.

No

Those experts again. Boy do they get around.

Get fucked

Don't make me cancel my sub to The Guardian, please. You're one of the last mainstream pubs I still trust, but I'll drop you if I need to

No.

No. Now there's no need to read the article.

is my abacus conscious

Could the moon be cheese?

No

We urgently need a plan for shit. If anything, we need better education if people are seriously stupid enough to believe this nonsense.

"Experts believe it's at least possible." You've misspelled "grifters".

Just an FYI the three card monty guy is conning you

No, but humans may have a strong urge to justify their instinct to project on to it.

"Experts believe this is possible" 😂 experts in what? Tetris and cocaine?

By "experts", I take it you meant "bullshit merchants trying to peddle shit AI products and investments by claiming AI is inevitable so we'd better get used to it and cough up"?

No.

How many times must we tell you brainlets? No.

Could I be a Martian?

Every time the answer is “no”

No

Is Teddy Ruxpin sentient? Is Alexa coming on to me? Can I fuck a Tamagotchi?

I think the reverse is more likely, that some humans are non sentient and just responding to keywords.

Some hypothetical synthetic intelligence at some point in the future? Maybe. Current LLMs? No.

it could not

Could AI be conscious? Our partners and friends over at OpenAI really want the answer to be yes so they can stop losing all that money

Is part of your deal with Sam Altman to make llm's look like they are capable of doing anything without stealing?

No.

If you think that it can be, then I have a lovely bridge to sell you

No. As conscious as your toaster.

Only a moron would ask this question

OMG shut up. These stories are making Betteridge's Law look like the theory of fucking gravity.

no❤️ could you maybe talk about less stupid things please you are a newspaper🤗

No.

Lol, no

The word is not the thing, The map is not the territory, Shut up u fucking melts.

I mean without critical thinking skills anything is possible, you credulous chodes!

No Ones & zeros running through an electrical circuit are not conscious. People who ask this question have the same emotional intelligence as a two-year-old who thinks their teddy bear has feelings. Grow the fuck up Guardian

Are you even *trying* to be regarded as a purveyor of "journalism" anymore?

Could the brittish be conscious? All signs point to no

could the guardian be in a relationship with open AI? it's more likely than you think!

Wait a minute, this isn't the NYT posting this! What gives!

Could Furbies be conscious?

FFS.

No

No. And stop trying to out humanistic appeal to LLMs. They aren't genuine Artificial Intelligence, they cannot think for themselves or self actualize with autonomy. It may look like it but its just a sophisticated random number machine with deterministic weights and outcomes. LLMs are not friends

No

Are women people deserving of rights? Experts say it's too soon to tell.

No.

No

“Is Lincoln still president?” “Is George Washington still alive?” Why are we writing these articles on things we know the answer to.

no

WE GET IT, YOU ARE IN DEEP AND NEED IT TO BE A THING

Is mayonnaise an instrument

PAGING MR IAN BETTERIDGE!

There's a gap the size of the sun between interesting emergent phenomena and consciousness and you should feel a deep, soul crushing shame that you can't tell the difference.

No

No, you gullible fucks.

no

Considering it took evolution around 1.5 billion years to create a fully sentient being, and it came about as an accident of piling too much parallel neural circuitry on top of each other, I'm gonna say: no

Betteridge.

Please. Somebody do a wellness check on The Guardian.

The answer is no, and I'm not reading this.

Nope

Hey guys why didn't you put this in the article and describe the chinless Cambridge dickhead as purely an author? Effective altruism is bollocks, you know it's bollocks and this oped is pure propaganda

No

Could my dog grow wings and fly to the moon? Experts agree it's at least possible. So is Colonel Sanders coming back to life. Or anything, really.

So if it is conscious, using it is slavery right? It isn't, but the insistence that it is makes the users seem really into the idea of owning people

No.

No

AI as it currently exists cannot learn anything. Its weights are frozen at the time of training. It cannot reason but creates an illusion of this through a structured monologue. LLMs are manipulations of language systems, not thinking.

this is embarassing, I'm embarassed for whoever believes this

No. No it could not. Everyone involved in writing, editing, and posting this triple should be ashamed.

No

imagine writing this sentence seriously and calling yourself a journalist: "The honest answer is: we do not know for sure whether or not current AI systems are conscious or moral patients, and we do not know when or whether future systems will be."

this is so embarrassing for you lmao

Lol

No, you fucking idiots

Puh-lease! 🙄

No

No. Next question.

Paging @ianbetteridge.com

No.

Shouldn't this be marked as an ad?

Not THIS "AI". This is a prediction-based generator, nothing more.

You owe Ian Betteridge so much money at this point.

Are you guys okay?

Unless it wished upon a star ... no.

Of course it is! Just like those people who live in my TV

No shut the fuck up

No. Fucking stop already.

No actual expert believes it’s possible.

NO. EVERYONE KNOWS IT ISN’T and CANNOT BE as currently built. STOP PRINTING HYPE BULLSHIT, YOU HACKS.

1) Bettreidge's Law. 2) I'll believe AI is conscious when AI companies fight for it to be given human rights.

No, you weirdos. www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

No, Artificial Intelligence Is Not ConsciousTaken to its logical conclusion, this line of thinking is absurd—and damning.www.theatlantic.com

love to get paid to write fantastical nonsense to prop up a failing industry that requires obliterating everyone's quality of life to succeed

Can't believe I'm getting more mileage out of this unrelated reply

No

Are @theguardian.com journalists fully sentient? Evidence still doubtful.

Let’s pray it isn’t and it never happens. www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/...

No experts believe this go fuck your self this is dangrorus slop.

Lol, no.

Some day, all the people saying "I understand LLMs so I know they're just next token predictors" are going to crawl forward into 2024 and catch a glimpse why those working on the frontier models express ambivalence on their nature.

bsky.app/profile/spic...

This is super embarrassing for you but points for making substance monists happy and angry at the same time.

What's being sold as AI these days? Absolutely not.

No - are you fucking stupid or just gullible?

Could The Guardian writers be conscious? Experts agree no, but many idiots still have questions

"Experts believe" Nah, they're not experts. They may know a lot, have studied a great deal. But experts are folks who understand, not believe.

We've already gone too far with AI, but by then we will be entering Matrix territory.

No, and your editor should be fired.

fuck off

Sheep and pigs are conscious

Oh for heavens sake

No

"Could AI be conscious?"

Man Holds 'No' SignALT: Man Holds 'No' Signstatic.klipy.com

No

No. And if it is, then the companies involved are engaged in trafficking and enslavement of conscious beings.

No. No no no. No. Fucking stop it.

no it cant. Hope this helps.

No.

no

Ohhhh you’re in bed with OpenAI, this makes sense. Lenin was right about “free press”

Could you be any fucking dumber

Are we deadass

Stop even giving credence to this fascist grifter nonsense

What preposterous nonsense. Anyone with a basic understanding of how LLMs work should be able to answer the question (negatively).

The age old advice that any headline asking a question can be answered with “No” holds true!

No

Experts in what? Just remembering a certain evolutionary biologist who, while he may be brilliant in his own field, thoroughly beclowned himself recently on this very topic.

Stop posting advertisements dressed up like journalism you rubes.

No, and for your sake I hope you didn't pay anyone to put this article together, because if you did you absolutely got scammed lol

I get you're bought and paid for on this topic but it doesn't actually make you less pathetic.

Can AI be conscious? Is my laptop sad? Does your stick blender long for connection?

Without even reading the article, this post alone is making me question if the writer of it is conscious. No, dumbass. It’s not even really AI. That’s just a stupid fucking marketing term for a gigantic scam.

No, next question.

Are you stupid?

Is anyone at the Guardian conscious?

No. It's not. Stop asking. Not even close yet. Autocorrect isn't consciousness.

No experts don't think it's possible. AI shills, like the Guardian, think it's popular. Actual experts think the question is ridiculous.

Oh for fucks sake

More than a republican.

NO. Are we done here?
