Raw LLM Responses

There is actually an abundance of AI researchers, AI ethicists, and the people directly responsible for creating the original model for Stable Diffussion that all agree the current narrative is just marketing for the OpenAI product. The outputs are convincing people that the AI is conscious only because those people don't understand that the model is designed to appear conscious to them. There isn't actually a ghost in the machine and there likely won't ever be with this current iteration of AI. Some will at least admit that the mechanism for training the AI isn't that far removed from how humans remix information sometimes, but we still haven't found that secret ingredient for creating actual original ideas and thought. If the AI was allowed to build itself and was given complete freedom to act both benevolently and maliciously, then we may see it manage to emerge closer to what humans are, albeit in a much less energy efficient form.
