The recent increase on talks of AI being sentient or having feelings is an excuse to not make a case against AI companies. At first I rejected the claim as being non sense, but it made sense...
There will be no way of proving AGI is a thing or not with a machine capable of generating any text. But also it will make it seems it is unpredictable and uncontrollable and they will sell this as a pain of growth and they had not ways to know that this "conscious-like" machine would be able to do this.
This humanisation campaign lead by Huang and others is the perfect excuse for technology laymen law man who will take for granted that a ML "neuron" is exactly a biological neuron, and that machines take decisions and actions based on will and not pure statistical computing.
when the cashiers & janitors were replaced with robots, nobody complained about poor ppl displaced, they complained about well-fed ppl inconvenienced.
It won’t be any different moving forward yet ppl will still manage to act surprised.
