Episode notes
AI Consciousness Limitations
- Current AI models lack true consciousness and original meaning, hindering their ability to care about truth or detect self-deception.
- They implement some aspects of relevance realization and predictive processing but lack the crucial grounding in autopoiesis.
AI's Need for Consciousness
- AI discussions often imply consciousness parameters can be drawn up and programmed, neglecting the unknown nature of time and wisdom's non-parametric nature.
- Current AI serves as a tool, raising the question of why it needs consciousness or self-awareness, especially given potential alignment threats.
AI as a Mirror of Humanity
- Communicating with current AI is like interacting with a remixed version of human communication, not a conscious entity.
- This AI accesses and organizes the collective intelligence of humanity but lacks genuine understanding and consciousness.
