Yeah but the claim of the AI people has been that large neural networks might be sentient
Those claims are just pure nonsense though. Revealing the mechanism should be enough to show that this architecture isn’t capable of sentience. Especially because it’s been given a large portion of the world’s compute and power and still nothing. A sewer rat is more complex than the largest GPT model, and it can sustain itself on trash.
Sentience is only something that people hallucinate with LLMs because it’s doing its thing with human language. Something that is absolutely not a marker of sentience, otherwise we’d consider libraries sentient.
