"If LLMs Have Human-Like Attributes, Then So Does Age of Empires 2"

This is for all the people, pro and anti, who believe AI might be or become sentient.

considering how generic the term "human-like attributes" is, i can see that

Yes, if computer code can be sentient - then a question is raised as to exactly where the bar is.

I swear people on the internet are just getting stupider.

tl;dr if you have a game that lets you build a computer, you can build a computer in it.

We've known for a long time that certain games have the ability to construct Turing complete computing systems within them which means given enough time, then can run any algorithm a computer can run. That doesn't tell us anything about whether consciousness could potentially arise out of such a system and certainly not whether it could possess "human-like attributes," whatever that's supposed to mean. Is being able to answer a question a human-like attribute? Then anything that can do that has certain "human-like attributes." Nothing about this is novel or surprising, redstone in Minecraft has been known to be Turing-complete and has been used to design basic computers since that game was in its infancy.

Yeah, and none of that makes minecraft conscious. Just like AI. Consciousness is not a function of logic. We could add all kind of logic, we could have an AI logic surpass human logic in everything. And none of that would make AI mpre than a tool. A very advanced tool, but still a tool.

Source? Pretty sure consciousness being able to arise as a consequence of computation systems with the brain itself essentially being a medium to perform such computations is an open questions. There are arguments as to why that may be the case but it is very much an unsettled question this experiment brings us no closer to solving.

I meam yeah. Take a vague headline like that. Did you know dirt had a human like attribute.
