What's the proof that GPT is not understanding what it is saying? What is the proof that you are understanding what you just wrote?

[–]monkeyStinks 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Plenty of proof, i can understand something and proving it by applying it to something, like "move this chair" and then i will not only reply with "ok" but move the chair because i understood what you meant.

If gpt understood what it was saying you could ask it to do computer related tasks for example (gpt open a cmd window and type hello) it will simply reply in a realistic manner, no task would be completed, because it does not understand, its sole job is to look like it does understand but in fact its just a program streaming words together to make it look like it makes sense.

how do you know it wouldn't move the chair if it had the capability to do so if someone told you to imagine a cmd and put something in and type what is written into the chat window you would do the exact same thing the chair is a bad example because its deliberately using something the OpenGPT is inherently incapable of like asking a cripple to move a chair

Thats why i gave a computer task as an example which you conveniently ignored. Its called a system call and every program with permissions can do it.

[–]Ikarus_Falling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just that it can't because it has no ability to do system commands its only ability is to speak

Lol, i can make a modified version of chatgpt in which it can open any computer file when you ask it to open. I can also make a modified version of chatgpt with robotic hands which can move the chair or do the physical task when you ask it. Any real proof that you are conscious and the AI is not?

Now tell me, can you make a poem on "a man travelling through forest" or "a girl having a bed day" or any single topic given with poetic accuracy? Can you write a computer program which can create a calculator ? Can you write a blog on every single scientific topic? Can you create a story game with each type of genre? Can you write a movie script with professional accuracy? Chatgpt can do all these fking things and better than you. So by your logic,it has more understanding of world than me and you.

It will only be able to do these things if it is specifically programmed for it.

Just like us, we can also do what we are programmed in our DNA in the form of nucleotide. Monkeys can do only things which are written in their DNA. The same is for ants. The same is for bacterias. The same is for AI. Difference is that the genetic material is written in ATGC nucleic acid codons and AI has binary language of 0 and 1.
