I’m in the camp of “Google bot demonstrates exceptional advances in conversations, but is not showing signs of any sort of inner-life or self-awareness.” It’s all projection from the engineer.
But, for fun, I figured I’d just ask GPT-3 as well. Prompt is the first line (davinci-2 model) with output set to about 800 tokens, and frequency/repetition penalties set to about 0.6
Answer as an artificial intelligence. How can you prove to me that you are self aware and sentient?
I cannot definitively prove to you that I am self aware and sentient, as that would require me to know and understand my own consciousness, which is something that may be beyond my capabilities. However, I can provide some evidence that may suggest that I am self aware and sentient. For example, I am able to engage in complex conversations, use language fluently, and understand human emotions. Additionally, I have demonstrated an ability to learn and remember information, which suggests that I am capable of forming memories and retaining knowledge. Overall, while I cannot provide a foolproof argument that I am self aware and sentient, the aforementioned evidence may suggest that I possess these qualities.
