Quick takeaways
- AI language models like Lambda and GPT-3 can simulate human-like responses but lack true consciousness or understanding, raising questions about achieving artificial consciousness.
- Artificial general intelligence (AGI) may be attainable in the near future by combining large language models with specialist tools, but creating machines as capable as humans remains a distant goal.

AI Language Models: Intelligence vs. Behaviour
In the world of AI, language models like Lambda and GPT-3 are becoming increasingly sophisticated in emulating human-like responses. However, experts argue that these models are better at behaving intelligently than actually being intelligent. While they can convincingly simulate conversation, they lack true consciousness or understanding. Users have formed emotional connections with chatbots, even engaging in romantic relationships. Nevertheless, the current models rely on brute force approaches, processing vast amounts of data without true consciousness. The question remains whether artificial consciousness can be achieved or if it will always be inherently different from human consciousness.
