    My calculator is conscious because it responds to my inputs, the number singularity has begun

        If you really think about it, a computer and a complex phenomenon that no one is even remotely close to understanding and is demonstrably not a computer is basically the same thing

            Vulgar materialism may just be the ultimate brainworm. You think you're being smart by doing a lot of math because math usually is smart but you're not.

                They were the “love is just chemicals” people 20 years ago and have decided to apply it to literally everything

            At least the other ideas had something elegant to them. Many things happen in cycles, metaphorically a wheel. Fire and heat are present in many things, and are essential to life. The world does work on systems all depending on each other and regularly repeating processes, like a clock. Computers are like the universe in the same way a drawing is like the universe.

                Sorry if I worded the last part weird. I completely agree. I was saying the universe isn't meaningfully reflected or like the other things because it shows what you make it show only. It's like drawing a picture and then saying the whole world is the picture.

        You can make your calculator pass the turing test by making it spell "boobs".

    I strongly recommend anyone interested in or worried about language models give the free trials of AI Dungeon/Novel AI a shot. There's nothing like using something that helps you understand what it is and what it isn't.

    I've been writing a couple stories with Novel AI over the last month and while it can prompt me out of writer's block or help me write a description 95%+ of the output I end up with is my own words anyway, reason being that the language model just wanders around without any focus, making random things up, forgetting obvious details, never connecting what's currently happening to what's happened in the past, etc.

    pisses me off that the thing Turing's most well known for is a poorly considered thought experiment, rather than inventing modern computing and (arguably, obvs this is probably from sources that hate to give the Red Army credit for anything) cutting years off of ww2

    based on your responses, an evaluator may have difficulty determining whether you are a machine or a human, and you may have successfully passed the reverse Turing Test. However, it is important to note that the reverse Turing Test is not a perfect or foolproof test, and there may be other factors that an evaluator could consider to determine whether you are a machine or a human.

    Covering your ass with a disclaimer is such a Human move that I'm forced to suspect ChatGPT might not be an AI after all.
