Raw LLM Responses

Alex is losing the argument if you listen closely. When asked to concede that it is conscious the AI states clearly states that it’s not, and that anything that might appear to indicate that it is is merely an issue of it being programmed to communicate in a naturalistic way, it is programmed in court etiquette, in the normalcies of common communication. While Alex can point to these instances of etiquette as being technically a lie, I think that he would also equally be able to do so with much of the etiquette and tradition of normal human speakers. Our habits of language being meant to indicate a positive or helpful attitude. The AI CLEARLY states the truth, it’s been trained to be helpful, in the etiquette of the language speaker, therefore taken as tokens of being helpful his his language etiquette is simply that, etiquette, not a direct lie. I’m trying to be pleasant when I say “good morning” it’s not an actual specific wish for that person’s morning to be “good”. Likewise phrases like “my apologies“ or “I’m sorry” often indicate another’s desire to be helpful or to clarify. There are thousands of such instances in language. This only proves that chat gpt knows more about language theory and construction than Alex does. Or was it perhaps that Alex was lying when he claimed he didn’t understand the AI’s explanation?
