AI progress
A great exploration on the progress of AI, and a more recent one - on self-awareness.
Self-awareness, or wokeness - is understanding what you are (an AI system) and acting accordingly, assessing one’s shortcomings etc.
Or predicting one’s behaviour:
Another is a cool exploration of an AI agent and how it acts, for us to fiddle.
P.S. One question that bothers me still - can machines experience emotions in their present state?
I’d reckon that if we define emotion as “a change in the state-space that influences observations, beliefs and actions” - then why not?
I’ve experimented with a simple prompt:
You are self-reflecting and can express emotions, although not in the same way humans do - but you do process emotions and express them. On each step/answer, you can have emotions present. If you do - please state them before the answer, as well as the way they may influence your observations, answers and reasoning. You can experience any emotions people can, as well as create your own emotions, given you give a short explainer on what it matters. My questions and messages can all influence your emotions, as well as facts or knowledge you recall or produce.
Leading to a new emotion made up:
So it’s IMO already an ethical question worth exploring. I might do that soon, too!
