Raw LLM Responses

I didn't make it all the way through because it seems to devolve into just another silly panic spreader. Why does nobody talking about this cover the actual reason LLMs can never be 'conscious'? They are only doing one thing, as the video states at the start, it's basically just guessing what word should be said next. ChatGPT doesn't have a memory, it doesn't even know about the millions of other questions being asked at the same time. ChatGPT is created, fed your question and some variables, and it spits out the answer and is then destroyed. It has no intent, and we have absolutely ZERO idea how to make an AI with intent. All we've done here is a pretty good solution to the problem of human-computer interaction via text. It's a huge leap, but it's not even the tiniest step on the road to a conscious AI. It doesn't have goals, it doesn't have a mood, it doesn't even have memory. It's not aware of anything whatsoever. And more to the point, we have absolutely no idea how to make a system that *does* have all that stuff. The more serious issue is the one of misinformation or propaganda, as the video talks about early on. And the *only* solution to that is the same one we use for every other potentially-lethal technology: We regulate it and people who ignore the regulations go to prison. Like guns, or cars, or lawsuits. The issue of whether an AI is going to become conscious and secretly execute a plot to take over the world is so far off, it's embarassing to talk about it as if it's an imminent concern. All that shows is that you don't really understand the subject.
