Episode notes
Large language model based programs like GPT3 cannot achieve self-awareness or consciousness. These programs have a static definition and do not have malleable memory. They operate on input and generate output through feed-forward architecture, but there is no ongoing updated model of themselves or the world. Self-awareness requires malleable memory and the ability to update models of learning and interact with the world. Other AI models may have the potential for self-awareness, but not large language models like GPT3. While these models will be integrated into our working lives, their impact will be more like Google's impact - useful and influential, but not causing entire industries to disappear.
