    It’s your job to prove your assertion that we know enough about cognition to make reasonable comparisons.

      May as well ask me to prove that we know enough about calculators to say they won’t develop sentience while I’m at it.

        Except calculators aren’t models capable of understanding language that appear to become more and more capable as they grow. It’s nothing like that.

          Isn’t it, though? Take two cells and rub them together, do it a bit more, boom here we are on Lemmy.

          We wouldn’t refer to our consciousness as an emergent property of algae.

            Yes, but we would refer to our consciousness as an emergent property of our brain.

            And we’re trying to build artificial brains.

              Sorry, I guess what I was trying to say is that it doesn’t take much to get from “calculator” to a system that is Turing complete, and from there we’re just a few sleeps away from LLMs, and from there…
